Abstract
- Production of chemicals by microbial fermentation is an economical alternative to chemical synthesis. Here the authors re-engineer the yeastS. cerevisiaeto produce the very long chain fatty alcohol docosanol by expressing a heterologous Mycobacteria fatty acid synthase and a specific fatty acid reductase.
