Exploring and expanding the natural chemical space of bacterial diterpenes

Abstract Terpenoids are the largest family of natural products but relatively rare in bacteria. Genome mining reveals widespread prevalence of terpene synthases, the enzymes responsible for constructing the hydrocarbon skeletons, in bacteria. Here, we show that 125 (37%) of 334 terpene synthases fro...
