Fig. 1From: Biosynthesis of pinene in purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteriaThe schematic of the terpene synthetic pathway and the functional operons of plasmids used in this study. a Biosynthetic pathway of isoprenoids. The intrinsic terpene biosynthesis of photosynthetic bacteria is shown in green. b The functional operons of plasmids used for the biosynthesis of pinene in R. sphaeroides.
