Baccatin III is an isolate from the yew tree (Genera Taxus). Baccatin III is a precursor to the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol).
In 2014, researchers reported introduction and expression of the endophytic fungal gene responsible for synthesizing baccatin III (10-deacetylbaccatin III 10-O-acetyltransferase), to the mushroom Flammulina velutipes. Researchers achieved the same accomplishment with Escherichia coli in 2000.
