10. The optimum catalytic pH and temperature for 1 → 2 were 6.5-7.5 and 15-25 °C, respectively; see ESI.
11. Phosphatase inhibitors of cocktail 1 and 2 from SIGMA Co. were tested. Addition of the cocktail 1 led to the recoveries of GGOH and 2 from the hexane extract of the incubation mixture, but that of cocktail 2 resulted in no recovery of these alcohols, indicating that the cocktail 2 effectively inhibited the phosphatase activity of GGPP to GGOH and that of 4 to 2.

17. No detectable amount of 2 was found in the hexane extract from the incubation mixture when 1 was incubated with the homogeneously purified Rv3377c enzyme, further supporting the proposal that this enzyme catalyses only the reaction of 1 → 4. To eliminate the diphosphate group of 4 to afford 2, acid phosphatase was added to the preincubation mixture of 1 with the purified Rv3377c enzyme, followed by further incubation; see, H. Fujii, T. Koyama and K. Ogura, Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1982, 712, 716-718.

Very recently, Russell et al. suggested the horizontal gene transfer of Rv3377c and they constructed the transposon-inserted mutants that are defective in arrest of phagosome maturation, in which Rv3377c gene had been disrupted.
