Abstract
A short-chain prenyl diphosphate synthase in an Escherichia coli mutant that lacked the gene coding for farnesyl diphosphate synthase, ispA, was separated from other prenyl diphosphate synthases by DEAE-Toyopearl column chromatography. The purified enzyme catalyzed the condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate with dimethylallyl diphosphate to form farnesyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
