Production of fatty alcohols from engineered microorganisms

The invention generally relates to the production of a fatty alcohol composition from recombinant microbial cells. The fatty alcohols are produced by expressing a gene encoding a heterologous fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase ("FAR"); a gene encoding a heterologous thioesterase (&qu...

Zusammenfassung:	The invention generally relates to the production of a fatty alcohol composition from recombinant microbial cells. The fatty alcohols are produced by expressing a gene encoding a heterologous fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase ("FAR"); a gene encoding a heterologous thioesterase ("TE") gene and a gene encoding an acyl-CoA synthetase ("ACS").
