Engineering Escherichia coli FAB system using synthetic plant genes for the production of long chain fatty acids

Abstract Background Sustainable production of microbial fatty acids derivatives has the potential to replace petroleum based equivalents in the chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Most fatty acid sources for production oleochemicals are currently plant derived. However, utilization of th...
