Sumario:Two bacterial diterpene synthases (DTSs) from Chryseobacterium were characterised. The first enzyme yielded the new compound chryseodiene that closely resembles the known fusicoccane diterpenes from fungi, but its experimentally and computationally studied cyclisation mechanism is fundamentally different to the mechanism of fusicoccadiene synthase. The second enzyme produced wanjudiene, a diterpene hydrocarbon with a new skeleton, besides traces of the enantiomer of bonnadiene that was recently discovered from Allokutzneria albata.
