Heterologous expression of mtf and mtc genes of Pseudanabaena foetida var. intermedia is sufficient to produce 2-methylisoborneol in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT Microbial volatile metabolite 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) causes odor and taste issues in drinking water, making it unappealing for human consumption. It has been suggested that 2-MIB biosynthesis consists of two main steps, namely, methylation of geranyl diphosphate into 2-methyl geranyl di...
