Functional screening of aldehyde decarbonylases for long-chain alkane production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract Background Low catalytic activities of pathway enzymes are often a limitation when using microbial based chemical production. Recent studies indicated that the enzyme activity of aldehyde decarbonylase (AD) is a critical bottleneck for alkane biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We the...
