We report the identification of the biosynthetic cluster from the marine-derived fungus and the in vivo characterization of a cryptic type I diterpene synthase. The heterologous expression of the bifunctional terpene synthase led to the discovery of a diterpene backbone, talarodiene, harboring a benzo[]cyclopenta[]cyclooctane tricyclic fused ring system. The conversion of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to talarodiene was investigated using C-labeling studies, and stable isotope tracer experiments showed the biotransformation of talarodiene into talaronoid C.
