METHOD FOR PRODUCING (-)-Α-BISABOLOL IN HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing (-)-α-bisabolol. More particularly, the method according to the present invention includes: under effective conditions for producing (-)-α-bisabolol, culturing host cells exhibiting chamomile sesquiterpene synthase MrTPS1 having sesquiterpene synthase activity, or a homologue, a fragment or a variant thereof; extracting (-)-α-bisabolol in the cultured host cell; and selectively purifying (-)-α-bisabolol from the extract to thereby produce purified (-)-α-bisabolol.
