The present invention provides a method of producing (−)-rotundone from α-guaiene. The method includes the steps of: (1) allowing a cytochrome P450 protein to act on α-guaiene, which cytochrome P450 belongs to the CYP152 family and is capable of oxidizing the methylene group at position 3 of α-guaiene to the carbonyl group; and/or (2) allowing a cytochrome P450 protein to act on α-guaiene in the presence of an electron transfer protein capable of transferring electrons to the cytochrome P450 protein, which cytochrome P450 belongs to the CYP152, CYP106, or CYP107 family and is capable of oxidizing the methylene group at position 3 of α-guaiene to the carbonyl group.

The present disclosure relates to a multi-enzyme conjugate, a method for preparing the same and a method for preparing an organic compound using the same. More particularly, a multi-enzyme conjugate exhibiting improved catalytic efficiency over respective free enzymes using site-specific incorporation of a clickable non-natural amino acid into the enzymes and two compatible click reactions, a method for preparing the same and a method for preparing an organic compound using the same may be provided.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for producing rotundone. In various aspects, the present disclosure provides enzymes, polynucleotides encoding said enzymes, and recombinant microbial host cells (or microbial host strains) for the production of rotundone.
