Production of fatty acid-derived oleochemicals and biofuels by synthetic yeast cell factories
While yeast is an attractive alternative to bacteria for the production of biofuels it currently has low production yields. Here, the authors systematically engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae for high-level production of fatty acids, alkanes and fatty alcohols, which are important fuel precursors.
