To provide a series of techniques for obtaining β-phellandrene with high purity and in a large quantity. Provided is a recombinant cell capable of producing β-phellandrene, prepared by introducing at least one nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid encoding geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) synthase and a nucleic acid encoding neryl pyrophosphate (NPP) synthase, and a nucleic acid encoding β-phellandrene synthase into a host cell in such a manner that these nucleic acids are expressed in the host cell. Also provided is a method for producing β-phellandrene by culturing the recombinant cell to produce β-phellandrene in the recombinant cell.
A recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Pichia yeast cell capable of producing β-phellandrene, prepared by introducing at least one nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid encoding geranyl pyrophosphate synthase and a nucleic acid encoding neryl pyrophosphate synthase, and a nucleic acid encoding β-phellandrene synthase into a host cell in such a manner that these nucleic acids are expressed in the host cell,
