This thesis focuses on sustainable production of bioactive terpenoids by metabolic host strain engineering and protein engineering for targeted biocatalyst optimization. Thereby a biosynthetic route towards pseudopterosin-bioactives could be identified by engineering of the Hydropyrene synthase from
S. clavuligerus. Further, two novel δ-cadinol synthases from
C. puteana could be identified, characterized, and crystallized allowing for detailed insights into terpene synthases’ catalytic mechanism.
