Biosynthesis of chain‐specific alkanes by metabolic engineering in Escherichia coli
Renewable energy is one of the key issues for sustainable development. Compared with alcohols and esters, alkanes—with the highest energy density—are a better liquid fuel. In this study, we focused on medium‐chain alkanes, the main compounds of jet fuels. To control the chain length of alkanes, a ch...
