Genetic and metabolic engineering of medium chain fatty acids synthesis in yeast : role of thioesterases.

In this project, we demonstrated the genetic engineering of POX deletion strains of S. cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) through the heterogeneous expression of thioesterases to produce medium chain fatty acids in S. cerevisiae cells. The thioesterases expressed in S. cerevisiae were chosen for its specifi...
