Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a monoalkene comprising the step of enzymatically converting an alkyl monoester. The conversion preferably makes use of an enzyme which belongs to the group of terpene synthases or to the family of prenyltransferases. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of a terpene synthase or of a prenyltransferase for enzymatically converting an alkyl monoester into a monoalkene.
