Abstract
The present invention discloses a method of producing drimenol and/or drimenol derivatives by contacting a polypeptide with farnesyl pyrophosphate. Also provided is an amino acid sequence of a polypeptide useful in the methods of the invention and nucleic acid encoding the polypeptides of the invention. The method further provides host cells or organisms genetically modified to express the polypeptides of the invention and useful to produce drimenol and/or drimenol derivatives.
Claims10
