Fig. 1.8: Catalytic activities of the isoprenyl diphosphate synthases<br />

PaIDS1, PaIDS4, PaIDS5, and PaIDS6 after heterologous expression in E.<br />

coli. Products were measured by radio-gas chromatography (plotted in<br />

Bequerel, upper four panels) and identified by co-injection of nonradioactive<br />

terpene standards, detected via a thermal conductivity detector<br />

(plotted as detector response, bottom panel). The main products after acid<br />

hydrolysis are listed: G, geraniol; F, farnesol; and GG, geranylgeraniol.<br />

Bacteria containing only the expression vector without a isoprenyl<br />

diphosphate synthase sequence showed no enzyme activity (top panel).
