This findings identify a new enzymatic mechanism for the biosynthesis of triterpenes and enhance understanding of terpene biosynthesis in nature.
This research gives us a deeper understanding of the great potential and power of deep mining of natural products "dark matter" in nature. This massive genome treasure is located in a huge "black hole", and creative batch mining of it is the future use of synthetic organisms Learning technology leverages new human resources, including the key to the discovery, transformation, optimization and utilization of new drugs and other big health products, and will also lead the discovery of natural products to new heights and depths, thereby enriching and improving our lives.
