Alkane biosynthesis genes in cyanobacteria and their transcriptional organization

Alkane biosynthesis genes in cyanobacteria and their transcriptional organization

In cyanobacteria, alkanes are synthesized from a fatty acyl-ACP by two enzymes, acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (AAR) and aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO). Despite the great interest in the exploitation for biofuel production, nothing is known about the transcriptional organization of thei...
