    2.5.1.81 | (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate |
Aeropyrum pernix does not possess geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase and has only C25-C25 ether lipids, but no C20-containing ether lipids. Aeropyrum pernix farnesylgeranyl diphosphate synthase is important in the biosynthesis of the hydrocarbon moiety of membrane lipids |
| 2.5.1.81 | farnesyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate |
biosynthesis of the polyprenyl side-chain of methanophenazine, an electron carrier utilized for methanogenesis |
| 2.5.1.81 | geranylgeranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate |
