Bicyclogermacrene synthase (EC 4.2.3.100, Ov-TPS4) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (bicyclogermacrene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate \rightleftharpoons bicyclogermacrene + diphosphate

The enzyme from oregano (Origanum vulgare) gives mainly bicyclogermacrene with Mn2+ as a cofactor.
