Synthesis of high-titer alka(e)nes in Yarrowia lipolytica is enabled by a discovered mechanism

Alka(e)nes with chain lengths in C5-C23 range are ideal fuel components. Here, the authors report that high-titer production of alak(e)nes in pathway engineered Yarrowia lipolytica, which is enabled by the finding that acyl-CoA is another substrate of fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP).
