Abstract
The present invention relates to a valencene synthase, to a nucleic acid encoding such valencene synthase, to a host cell comprising said encoding nucleic acid sequence and to a method for preparing valencene, comprising converting farnesyl diphosphate to valencene in the presence of a valencene synthase according to the invention.
Claims10
A nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a valencene synthase having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the nucleic acid sequence has at least 95% sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:19.
A method for preparing valencene, said method comprising converting a farnesyl diphosphate to valencene in the presence of a valencene synthase comprising the amino acid sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2.
