Red algae or seaweeds produce highly distinctive halogenated terpenoid compounds, including the pentabromochlorinated monoterpene halomon that was once heralded as a promising anticancer agent. The first dedicated step in biosynthesis of these natural product molecules is expected to be catalyzed by terpene synthase (TS) enzymes. Recent work has demonstrated an emerging class type I TSs red algal biosynthesis. However, only one such enzyme from notoriously haloterpenoid-producing alga...
