Improving fatty acid availability for bio-hydrocarbon production in Escherichia coli by metabolic engineering.

Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of producing fatty-acid-derived hydrocarbons in Escherichia coli. However, product titers and yields remain low. In this work, we demonstrate new methods for improving fatty acid production by modifying central carbon metabolism and storing fatty ac...
