Described is a method for producing an alkene comprising the step of converting an alcohol by an enzymatic dehydration step. The conversion preferably makes use of a prenyl isoflavonoid hydratase, in particular of a kievitone hydratase (EC 4.2.1.95) or of a phaseollidin hydratase (EC 4.2.1.97). Moreover, the present invention describes a recombinant organism which produces an alcohol and which expresses a hydratase enzyme which is capable of catalyzing the conversion of said alcohol into an alkene.
