PRODUCTION OF ODD CHAIN FATTY ACID DERIVATIVES IN RECOMBINANT MICROBIAL CELLS

摘要

Recombinant microbial cells are provided which have been engineered to produce fatty acid derivatives having linear chains containing an odd number of carbon atoms by the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway. Also provided are methods of making odd chain fatty acid derivatives using the recombinant microbial cells, and compositions comprising odd chain fatty acid derivatives produced by such methods.
