A distinct pathway for tetrahymanol synthesis in bacteria.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 3 Nov 2015

Banta Amy B, Wei Jeremy H, Welander Paula V

Abstract excerpt

Tetrahymanol is a polycyclic triterpenoid lipid first discovered in the ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis whose potential diagenetic product, gammacerane, is often used as a biomarker for water column stratification in ancient ecosystems. Bacteria are also a potential source of tetrahymanol, but neither the distribution of this lipid in extant bacteria nor the significance of bacterial tetrahymanol synthesis for...
