Fig. 1From: High production of fatty alcohols in Escherichia coli with fatty acid starvationEngineered pathway for fatty alcohol production in E. coli. The fatty alcohol synthesis flux from fatty acyl-ACP was enhanced by deletion of acyl-CoA thioesterases coupled with overexpression of fatty acyl-ACP reductase (FAR, green line). Competing pathways were blocked (red line) by deletion of lactic dehydrogenase (ldhA), phosphate acetyltransferase (pta) and acetate kinase (ackA)Back to article page
