pentalenene synthase activity

Known as: 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, pentalenene-forming), 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyldiphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, pentalenene-forming), pentalenene synthetase activity 
Catalysis of the reaction: 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl diphosphate = diphosphate + pentalenene. [EC:4.2.3.7, RHEA:18084]
