Production of geranyl diphosphate

摘要

The invention relates to recombinant geranyl diphosphate (GPP) synthases, genes encoding the synthases, vectors and host cells comprising the same. More particularly, the invention relates to a recombinant GPP synthase, which preferentially facilitates the production of GPP from its isoprenoid precursors and incorporating a recombinant GPP synthase into one or more terpene production pathways of a host organism.
