| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genome mining and analysis of multifunction of enzyme found novel terpenes. Onoceroid synthase was first identified. In addition, enzymatic synthesis of ambrein was succeeded. Search for novel type of terpene synthase from Mycobacterium and analysis of catalytic mechanism of novel enzyme were also steadily performed.
