Abstract: The rhizobacterium Serratia plymuthica 4Rx13 releases a unique polymethylated hydrocarbon (C16H26) with a bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiene skeleton called sodorifen. Sodorifen production depends on a gene cluster carrying a C-methyltransferase and a terpene cyclase along with two enzymes… read more here.
