Recently, the use of click chemistry for localization of chemically modified cyanopeptides has been introduced, i.e., taking advantage of promiscuous adenylation (A) domains in non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS), allowing for the incorporation of clickable non-natural amino acids (non-AAs) into their peptide products. In this study, time-lapse experiments have been performed using pulsed feeding of three different non-AAs in order to observe the synthesis or decline of azide- or alkyne-modified microcystins (MCs) or anabaenopeptins (APs). The cyanobacteria Microcystis :aeruginosa and Planktothrix :agardhii were grown under maximum growth rate conditions (r = 0.35&ndash:0.6 and 0.2&ndash:0.4 (day&minus:1), respectively) in the presence of non-AAs for 12&ndash:168 h. The decline of the azide- or alkyne-modified MC or AP was observed via pulse-feeding. In general, the increase in clickable MC/AP in peptide content reached a plateau after 24&ndash:48 h and was related to growth rate, i.e., faster-growing cells also produced more clickable MC/AP. Overall, the proportion of clickable MC/AP in the intracellular fraction correlated with the proportion observed in the dissolved fraction. Conversely, the overall linear decrease in clickable MC/AP points to a rather constant decline via dilution by growth instead of a regulated or induced release in the course of the synthesis process.
