Widespread biosynthesis of 16-carbon terpenoids in bacteria - Nature Chemical Biology

Terpenoids are the most diverse group of specialized metabolites with numerous applications. Their biosynthesis is based on the five-carbon isoprene building block and, as a result, almost all terpenoids isolated to date are based on backbones that contain multiples of five carbon atoms. Intrigued by the discovery of an unusual bacterial terpenoid with a 16-carbon skeleton, here we investigate whether the biosynthesis of 16-carbon terpenoids is more widespread than this single example.
