Isoprenoid precursor synthesis is an ancient and fundamental function of plastid organelles and a critical metabolic activity of the apicoplast in Plasmodium malaria parasites [1-3]. Over the past decade, our understanding of apicoplast properties and functions has increased enormously [4], due in l...
