Abe, Ikuro,Rohmer, Michel
, p. 783 - 792 (2007/10/02)
Cell-free systems from the protozoon Tetrahymena pyriformis and the bacterium Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius normally convert squalene into pentacyclic triterpenes of the gammacerane and hopane series. 2,3-Dihydrosqualene, a substrate analogue lacking on
