D2 diesel fuel substitute bisabolane can be generated by the hydrogenation of (Z)-α-bisabolene or β-curcumene. F95H EIZS exhibits 68-fold enhanced catalytic efficiency in the generation of β-curcumene compared with the generation of (Z)-α-bisabolene by α-bisabolene synthase, so it is possible that F95H EIZS could serve as a superior terpenoid synthase for microbial biofuel generation.
