  • MONOTERPENOID MODIFYING ENZYMES
    Publication number: 20100143975
    Abstract: Monoterpenoid esters that have been modified to include a sugar pendant group are disclosed. Plant glycosyltransferase enzymes are provided that function to add a sugar, typically glucose, to monoterpenoids in a bioreactor for the production of glycosylated monoterpenoid esters, together with nucleic acid molecules encoding such enzymes and vectors and transgenic cells including such nucleic acid molecules.
