The biosynthesis of the odorant 2-methylisoborneol is compartmentalized inside a protein shell

Abstract Terpenoids are the largest class of natural products, found across all domains of life. One of the most abundant bacterial terpenoids is the volatile odorant 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), partially responsible for the earthy smell of soil and musty taste of contaminated water.
