Figure 2

Fatty alcohol distribution in engineered strains employing fatty acyl-CoA reductases FAR, Acr1 or CER4. The distribution was assayed by measuring the formation of fatty alcohols in the cultures of Zh05, Zh07 and Zh08, which were all supplemented with an equivalent blend of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid ahead of induction. FAR, acr1 and CER4 are fatty acyl-CoA reductase genes from S. chinensis, A. baylyi and A. thaliana, respectively; fadD, acyl-CoA synthase gene from E. coli; Zh05, employing FAR and fadD genes; Zh07, employing FAR and fadD genes; Zh08, employing CER4 and fadD genes. The error bars represent the range from two independent experiments.
