Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two-Component Protein Shell

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Terpenoids are ubiquitous, structurally diverse natural products found across the three domains of life. One of the most commonly observed and well-studied terpenoids is the volatile, petrichoric compound geosmin, responsible for the earthy smell of soil to which humans are receptive down to a few parts per trillion. Bioinformatic analysis of bacterial geosmin synthase (GeoA)-encoding gene clusters reveals that ma...
