Abstract:
1. A method for producing an isoprenoid compound, said method comprising the steps of: culturing a host cell under conditions suitable for expressing a first recombinant protein comprising an isoprenoid synthase and a second recombinant protein comprising a CYP71 family cytochrome P450 polypeptide, wherein said first and second recombinant protein catalyze the formation of an isoprenoid compound not normally produced by said host cell; and recovering said isoprenoid compound, wherein said cytochrome P450 polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of a polypeptide comprising at least 95% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and a polypeptide comprising at least 95% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3.
