Title:
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR SYNTHESIS OF TERPENOIDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/264400
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to the biosynthesis of terpenoids, such as, for example, geraniol and derivatives thereof, using genetic engineering. In particular, the disclosure relates to the biosynthesis of nepetalactol, nepetalactone, dihydronepetalactone, and derivatives thereof. The disclosure provides recombinant cells genetically engineered to produce high levels of nepetalactol, nepetalactone and/or dihydronepetalactone. The disclosure also provides methods of producing nepetalactol, nepetalactone and dihydronepetalactone using cell-based systems as well as cell-free systems.
