wherein the dashed lines represent a single or a double bond, wherein R1 is separately selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, a halogen, mono-substituted, poly-substituted or unsubstituted variants of the following residues: saturated C1-C24 alkyl, unsaturated C2-C24 alkenyl or C2-C24 alkynyl, acyl, acyloxy, alkyloxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkoxy carbonyl, alkoxy carbonylacyl, amino, aminocarbonyl, aminocarboyloxy, nitro, azido, phenyl, cycloalkylacyl, hydroxy, alkylthio, arylthio, oxysulfonyl, carboxy, cyano, and halogenated alkyl including polyhalogenated alkyl, where n is equal to 1 or 2, and if n is equal to 2, then R1 can be the same or different;
wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a halogen, mono-substituted, poly-substituted or unsubstituted variants of the following residues: saturated C1-C24 alkyl, unsaturated C2-C24 alkenyl or C2-C24 alkynyl, acyl, acyloxy, alkyloxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkoxy carbonyl, alkoxy carbonylacyl, amino, aminocarbonyl, aminocarboyloxy, nitro, azido, phenyl, cycloalkylacyl, hydroxy, alkylthio, arylthio, oxysulfonyl, carboxy, cyano, and halogenated alkyl including polyhalogenated alkyl;
wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of a halogen, mono-substituted, poly-substituted or unsubstituted variants of the following residues: saturated C1-C24 alkyl, unsaturated C2-C24 alkenyl or C2-C24 alkynyl, acyl, acyloxy, alkyloxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkoxy carbonyl, alkoxy carbonylacyl, amino, aminocarbonyl, aminocarboyloxy, nitro, azido, phenyl, cycloalkylacyl, hydroxy, alkylthio, arylthio, oxysulfonyl, carboxy, cyano, and halogenated alkyl including polyhalogenated alkyl;
wherein each of E1, E2, E3 and E4 is a substituted or unsubstituted heteroatom;
the method comprising culturing a strain of Salinospora in a saline medium using a feedstock that is deficient in or has an excess of one or more of proprionate, butyrate, or valerate compared to levels of proprionate, butyrate, and valerate found in a medium comprising starch, Hy soy, and yeast in a ratio of 10 g to 4 g to 4 g such that the relative yield of the first compound in comparison to the yield of a second compound of Formula I is substantially different than the relative yield of the first compound in comparison to the yield of the second compound obtained when the strain is cultured in a medium comprising starch, Hy soy, and yeast in a ratio of 10 g to 4 g to 4 g.
