S1. Isotopologue Profiling

The isotopologue analysis was carried out as previously reported.[1] The metabolites 1 and 3 were

isolated by HPLC as has been described in the Experimental Section. The assignment of 13C NMR

signals of compounds 1 and 3 [2] was confirmed by 1D and 2D NMR experiments. 13C NMR spectra

of 1 and 3 obtained from labeled samples and 13C NMR spectra of natural 13C abundance

compounds 1 and 3 were measured under identical spectroscopic conditions. The relative 13C

abundance of each carbon was determined by comparing the signal intensities of the biosynthetic

samples with the signals of samples of natural 13C abundance. Absolute 13C abundances were

determined from 1H-13C spin-spin coupling satellites in the 1H NMR spectra (Figures S5 and S25).

Then the relative 13C abundances were calibrated to the absolute values. The multiple-labeled

isotopologues were quantified from the corresponding 13C-13C spin-spin coupling satellite signals in

the 13C NMR spectra. The integral of each respective satellite pair was then calibrated to the total

signal integrals of a given carbon atom (%13C13C in Tables S3 and S6). From the overall 13C

abundances, the molar contribution of specific isotopologues was then assessed (Tables S3 and S6).

The abundance of multiply labeled metabolites was dramatically increased due to the labeling

experiments with 13CO2, where universally 13C-labeled photosynthates were produced and further

metabolized to primary metabolites. Isotopologues carrying blocks of two or more adjacent 13C

atoms give rise to 13C-13C spin-spin coupling satellites whereas the single labeled isotopologues

give rise to the central signal line. Therefore, the signals of analyzed metabolites, derived from the

labeling experiments, appeared as overlayed signals with a large central signal line and one or more

pairs of satellite signals. The multiplets represent building blocks of the carbon skeleton and reflect

the biosynthetic history and especially the formation or breaking of C-C bonds. The 13C multiplets

represent different levels of complexity due to the presence of molecular species carrying one, two,

three or even four 13C atoms. Practically that means that different multiply 13C labeled

isotopologues could be distinguished on the basis of characteristic NMR signatures. The relative

intensity of signal integrals corresponds to molar abundance of each isotopologue.

Example 1. The signal of C-1´ (122.7) of 3 (Figure S15) consists of the central signal line,

which represents the [1´-13C1]-isotopologue, and the pair of satellites (JC-1´–C-2´ = 59 Hz) due

to the co-presence of 13C atoms at position C-1´ and C-2´ ([1´,2´-13C2]-isotopolugue). The

contribution to the total signal of C-1´ is 56.2% for [1´-13C1]-isotopologue and 43.8% for

[1´,2´-13C2]-isotopologue.

Example 2. In the aromatic ring B of 3, the signal of C-4´ ( 161.7) (Figure S13) appears as

an overlay of the doublet of doublets of the [3´,4´,5´-13C3]-isotopologue (JC-4´–C-3´ = JC-4´–C-5´ =

64 Hz) and the congruent doublets of the [4´,3´-13C2]- and [4´,5´-13C2]-isotopologues. The

[4´,5´,6´-13C3]-isotopologue was identified from its 13C-13C spin-spin couplings of 1JC-4´–C-5´ =

64 Hz and 2J C4´–C6´ = 7 Hz.

Example 3. The signal pattern which is observed for C-3 of 3 comprises nine lines of

significant intensities (Figure S8). The deconvolution of this complex signal patterns for each

individual isotopologue was achieved by taking into account the coupling constants as well as

the chemical shift increments. The central signal line (135.2) represents the [3-13C1]-

isotopologue, while the two flanking signal lines shown in red beneath the spectrum with

coupling constant 89 Hz are the result of 13C-13C spin-spin coupling between the observed C-

3 and the adjacent C-2. Hence, that doublet represents the [2,3-13C2]-isotopologue. The other

doublet satellite pair with JC–C = 65 Hz shown in blue beneath the spectrum arose from the

[3,4-13C2]-isotopologue. The double doublet pattern with coupling constants J = 89 Hz (red)

and J = 65 Hz (blue) is the result of the presence of simultaneous 13C labeling at C-2, C-3 and

C-4, corresponding to the [2,3,4-13C3]-isotopologue. The integration of signals assigned to

different isotopologues resulted in their relative abundances.

I (1) aglycon based on reconstruction of biosynthetic pathways of indole (a) and flavonoids (d). (c) Experimentally determined labeling pattern of

nudicaulin I (1) aglycon as derived by deconvolution of 13C NMR signals. (d) Reconstruction of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway based on

experimentally determined labeling pattern of kaempferol derivative (3) as derived by deconvolution of 13C NMR signals. Multiple 13C-labeled

isotopologues are indicated by bars connecting 13C-atoms within the same molecule. The numbers indicate the % molar abundances of the

corresponding isotopologues in mol%. The widths of the bars also reflect the % molar abundances of the isotopologues.
