Abstract
The present disclosure relates to terpene synthases capable of producing terpenoids. In one instance, a transformed organism can include terpene synthases or vectors encoding such synthases. One method of employing such synthases and organisms includes protecting an algal culture, in which the produced terpenoid can act as a biocide.
Claims7
An isolated, genetically engineered organism comprising:
- a first exogenous fungal terpene synthase or a nucleic acid encoding the first exogenous fungal terpene synthase,
- wherein the first exogenous fungal terpene synthase comprises a polypeptide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or wherein the nucleic acid encoding the first exogenous fungal terpene synthase comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- and
- a second exogenous fungal terpene synthase or a nucleic acid encoding the second exogenous fungal terpene synthase,
- wherein the second exogenous fungal terpene synthase comprises a polypeptide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 2, or wherein the nucleic acid encoding the second exogenous fungal terpene synthase comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- and
- wherein the isolated, genetically engineered organism produces aristolochene.
