Tandem expression of Ganoderma sinense sesquiterpene synthase and IDI promotes the production of gleenol in E. coli.

Ganoderma sinense, with more than 2000 years of medicinal history, is a fungus of the basidiomycetes that is rich in polysaccharides and terpenoids. However, the biosynthesis of terpenes, especially sesquiterpenes, has been little studied. The functional identification of sesquiterpene synthases from G.

Characterization of γ-Cadinene Enzymes in and from Basidiomycetes Provides Insight into the Identification of Terpenoid Synthases.

Enzymes boost protein engineering, directed evolution, and the biochemical industry and are also the cornerstone of metabolic engineering. Basidiomycetes are known to produce a large variety of terpenoids with unique structures. However, basidiomycetous terpene synthases remain largely untapped.

Biosynthesis and regulation of terpenoids from basidiomycetes: exploration of new research.

Basidiomycetes, also known as club fungi, consist of a specific group of fungi. Basidiomycetes produce a large number of secondary metabolites, of which sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids and triterpenoids are the primary components. However, these terpenoids tend to be present in low amounts, which makes it difficult to meet application requirements.
