The presence of the geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGS) gene is a common feature of gene clusters for diterpene biosynthesis. We demonstrated identification of a diterpene gene cluster using homology-based PCR of GGS genes and the subsequent genome walking in the fungus Phomopsis amygdali N2. Structure determination of a novel diterpene hydrocarbon phomopsene provided by enzymatic synthesis with the recombinant terpene synthase PaPS and screening of fungal broth extracts with reference to characteristic NMR signals of phomopsene allowed us to isolate a new diterpene, methyl phomopsenonate. The versatility of the gene-based screening of unidentified diterpenes is discussed in regard to fungal genomic data.
