Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to methods for producing monoterpenes, particularly tricyclene, by culturing microbial organisms that express a terpene synthase and optionally a prenyl transferase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing tricyclene comprising: culturing a microbial organism expressing a heterologous terpene synthase under conditions in which the terpene synthase converts geranyl diphosphate to tricyclene, wherein the terpene synthase has at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:2 and comprises an amino acid substitution at one or more positions corresponding to positions I291, V399, and I404 of SEQ ID NO:2. 2. The method accord…
