The biosynthetic generation of β-copaene and cubebol. STP production relies on the precursor supply of the non-mevalonate (MEP) pathway (a). The respective GC–MS chromatograms of E. coli cultures co-expressing either Copu2 or Copu3 and the corresponding MEP bottleneck enzymes reveal new product peaks and distinct product profiles due to the specific cyclization reaction (b). The respective detailed MS spectra allow for a putative compound assignment (c). The asterisks refers to terpenes without any MS spectra match in the NIST database
