Production of geranyl diphosphate-derived compounds

A recombinant yeast host cell comprising,

• a peroxisomally-localized enzyme catalyzing the formation of a branch point compound, which branch point compound can be converted in a prioritized pathway and in a non-prioritized pathway, wherein the enzyme catalyzing the formation of a branch point compound is a GPP synthase;
• and
• a peroxisomally-localized enzyme catalyzing the first step of the non-prioritized pathway, wherein the enzyme catalyzing the first step of the non-prioritized pathway is a terpene synthase selected from the group consisting of:
• geraniol synthase, linalool synthase, and myrcene synthase;
• and
• wherein the cell is capable of producing monoterpenoids, cannabinoids, iridoids, monoterpene indole alkaloids, and/or prenylated aromatic compounds at a level that is at least two-fold higher compared to a cell having the enzyme catalyzing the formation of the branch point compound and the enzyme catalyzing the first step of the non-prioritized pathway localized in the cytosol.
