Fig. 1From: Improved fatty aldehyde and wax ester production by overexpression of fatty acyl-CoA reductasesThe outline of the proposed wax ester production pathway in A. baylyi. Wax esters are produced from fatty acyl-CoA in three steps (see text for details). In this study, the effect of the overexpression of different FARs on the pathway was studied.
