Abstract

Although being used indirectly for ages synthetic biology rarely uses plant enzymes to produce high value compounds in microbes. To prove their usefulness several plant enzyme genes of the terpene metabolism were expressed recombinantly: HMG-CoA reductase, phosphomevalonate kinase and phytoene synthase. In activity studies candidate enzymes showed equal to superior performance compared to microbial references, thus proving their feasibility for synthetic biology approaches.
