  • Production of geranyl diphosphate-derived compounds
    Patent number: 12529077
    Abstract: Disclosed is yeast cells having peroxisomally localized GPP synthase and a peroxisomally localized enzyme that converts GPP into a monoterpenoids, cannabinoids, monoterpene indole alkaloids and prenylated aromatic compounds; or a precursor therefore, which yeast cells are capable of producing improved amounts of monoterpenoids, cannabinoids, monoterpene indole alkaloids and prenylated aromatic compounds, compared with the same yeast cells where the GPP synthase and the enzyme that converts GPP are located in the cytoplasm. Further disclosed is the use of the yeast cell for producing monoterpenoids, cannabinoids, monoterpene indole alkaloids and prenylated aromatic compounds.
