A bifunctional Z-prenyltransferase that preferentially synthesize C_<35> or C_<50> products was found from the study on the mycobacterial C_<35> terpenes. The structure of two novel C_<35> terpenes suggested that a prenyl reductase reducing both E and Z prenyl residues was responsible for the biosynthesis of C_<35> terpenes. On the other hand, a novel family of terpene cyclases and tetraprenyl-β-curcumene cyclase from Bacillus subtilis could be identified by the in vitro enzymatic reaction.
