| Comments | Requires Mg2+. Geosmin is the cause of the characteristic smell of moist soil. It is a bifunctional enzyme. The N-terminal part of the enzyme is EC?4.2.3.22, germacradienol synthase, and forms germacradienol from FPP. The C-terminal part of the enzyme catalyses the conversion of germacradienol to geosmin via (1S,4aS,8aS)-8,10-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydronaphthalene. |
| Cofactor | Mg2+ |
| History | |
| Reactions | (1E,4S,5E,7R)-germacra-1(10),5-dien-11-ol + H(2)O = (-)-geosmin + acetone. |
