Application Comment Organism
synthesis heterologous expression of the (+)-valencene synthase gene in Corynebacterium glutamicum is not sufficient to enable (+)-valencene production, likely because provision of farnesyl diphosphate by endogenous prenyltransferases is too low. Upon deletion of two endogenous prenyltransferase genes and heterologous expression of either farnesyl diphosphate synthase gene ispA from Escherichia coli or ERG20 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (+)-valencene production is observed. n-Dodecane is suitable for extraction of (+)-valencene from cultures and compatible with growth of Corynabacterium glutamicum. Production based on (+)-valencene synthase from Nootka cypress is superior to production by the enzyme from Citrus sinensis Citrus sinensis
