SAM:benzoic acid carboxyl methyltransferase; converts benzoic acid to methyl benzoate (floral odor)

This is the BAMT enzyme from Antirrhinus majus (snapdragon). BAMT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from SAM (S-adenosyl methyltransferase) to benzoic acid, creating methyl benzoate. Methyl benzoate produces a "pleasant" smell.
