Purification and Biochemical Characterization of Taxadiene Synthase from <i>Bacillus koreensis</i> and <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i>

Taxadiene synthase (TDS) is the rate-limiting enzyme of Taxol biosynthesis that cyclizes the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate into taxadiene. Attenuating Taxol productivity by fungi is the main challenge impeding its industrial application; it is possible that silencing the expression of TDS is the most...
