Abstrak

<i>Neo-allo</i>-ocimene is a monoterpene which could be applied in pesticides, fragrances, and sustainable polymers. In this study, we mined a terpene synthase, AgTPS40, from the transcriptome of celery leaf tissues. Through sequence and phylogenetic analysis, AgTPS40 was characterized as a monoterpene synthase. The <i>AgTPS40</i> gene was introduced into a heterologous mevalonate pathway hosted in <i>Escherichia coli</i> to enable terpene production. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that AgTPS40 catalyzes the formation of <i>neo-allo</i>-ocimene, marking the first reported identification of a <i>neo-allo</i>-ocimene synthase. Subsequently, we optimized the fermentation conditions and achieved a yield of 933.35 mg/L in a 1 L shake flask, which represents the highest reported titer of <i>neo-allo</i>-ocimene to date. These results reveal the molecular basis of <i>neo-allo</i>-ocimene synthesis in celery and provide a sustainable way to obtain this compound.
