Engineering an Alcohol-Forming Fatty Acyl-CoA Reductase for Aldehyde and Hydrocarbon Biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Aldehydes are a class of highly versatile chemicals that can undergo a wide range of chemical reactions and are in high demand as starting materials for chemical manufacturing. Biologically, fatty aldehydes can be produced from fatty acyl-CoA by the action of fatty acyl-CoA reductases. The aldehydes...
