Engineering of E. coli inherent fatty acid biosynthesis capacity to increase octanoic acid production

Abstract Background As a versatile platform chemical, construction of microbial catalysts for free octanoic acid production from biorenewable feedstocks is a promising alternative to existing petroleum-based methods. However, the bio-production strategy has been restricted by the low capacity of E....
