Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Genetically engineered microorganisms that produce fatty alcohols from a sugar source by way of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, as well as methods of their use are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A recombinant microbial cell that is modified to express at least one exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding a fatty acid derivative enzyme comprising an acyl-CoA reductase, wherein the recombinant microbial cell converts a carbohydrate carbon source into a fatty alcohol composition that is released into a fermentation media. 2. The recombinant microbial cell of claim 1 , wherein the microbial cell is a bacterial cell that is furt…
