Mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate decarboxylase is found in ''Picrophilus Torridus'', a thermoacidophilic archaeon of the order Thermoplasmatales. The enzyme catalyzes the elimination of the 3-phosphate group from mevalonate3,5-biphosphate as well as concomitant decarboxylation of the substrate, GGPP. | <scene name='93/934002/Cartoon_image/1'>Mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate decarboxylase</scene> is found in ''Picrophilus Torridus'', a thermoacidophilic archaeon of the order Thermoplasmatales.

''Picrophilus Torridus'' undergoes Thermoplasma-type MVA (mevalonate). This is relevant because the journal is analyzing a distinction between a novel variant of the eukaryotic MVA pathway. | ''Picrophilus Torridus'' undergoes Thermoplasma-type MVA (mevalonate).
