DE   lycopaoctaene synthase.
CA   2 (2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate + H(+) + NADPH = all-trans-
CA   lycopaoctaene + 2 diphosphate + NADP(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the green microalga Botryococcus
CC       braunii race L, in involved in biosynthesis of (14E,18E)-lycopadiene.
CC   -!- In vitro, the enzyme can accept (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate and
CC       phytyl diphosphate as substrates, and is also able to catalyze the
CC       condensation of two different substrate molecules, forming chimeric
CC       products.
CC   -!- However, the use of these alternative substrates is not significant
CC       in vivo.
