| 摘要 |
A method of producing (+)-zizaene by contacting at least one polypeptide with farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) in vitro or in vivo to produce (+)-zizaene, a compound which can be used as precursor for diverse compounds useful in the fields of perfumery and flavoring. An amino acid sequence of a polypeptide useful in the method, a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide of the invention, an expression vector containing the nucleic acid and a non-human host organism or a cell transformed to be used in the method of producing (+)-zizaene are also disclosed. |
