Phylogenetic analysis revealing that exon-intron structure of BbHDR genes does not show clear relation to phylogeny, while its amino acid sequence reflects phyla and classes well, phylogenetic tree. Introduction of BbHDR cDNA into an Escherichia coli HDR-deficient mutant results in recovery of its auxotrophy, recombinant enzyme expression in HDR-null Escherichia coli strain MG1655 | Botryococcus braunii |

| 1.17.7.4 | metabolism | in the B race of the algal species Botryococcus braunii, precursors of triterpene hydrocarbons are provided from the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. The terminal enzyme of this pathway, 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR), is regarded as one of the key enzymes that affect yields of products in terpene biosynthesis | Botryococcus braunii |
