Improving hydrocarbon production by engineering cyanobacterial acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase

Abstract Background Acyl-(acyl carrier protein (ACP)) reductase (AAR) is a key enzyme for hydrocarbon biosynthesis in cyanobacteria, reducing fatty acyl-ACPs to aldehydes, which are then converted into hydrocarbons by aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO). Previously, we compared AARs from various...
