We previously identified the fni gene of Streptomyces sp. strain CL190 as type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) isomerase, which needs both FMN and NADPH for enzyme activity. An fni gene homolog, ypgA, was detected in the database of the Bacillus subtilis genome. However, the ypgA product was abou...
