Abstract
The recently developed CLSA-NMR technique that is based on feeding experiments with (13)C-labelled precursors was applied in the identification of isoafricanol as the main volatile terpene emitted by Streptomyces violaceusniger. The isoafricanol synthase of this organism is presented, together with a recent phylogenetic analysis of bacterial terpene cyclases.
