Distribution and diversity of olefins and olefin-biosynthesis genes in Gram-positive bacteria

Abstract Background The natural production of olefins (unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons) by certain bacterial genera represents an alternative and sustainable source of biofuels and lubricant components. The biochemical steps of olefin biosynthesis via the ole pathway encoded by oleABCD have been...
