Alternative biofuel production in non-natural hosts

Graphical abstract Highlights ► This review addresses the current progress of modifying microorganisms with heterogenous elements for the production of biofuels. ► First, we summarize the 2 ketoacid-based pathways for C3–C8 alcohols production. ► Second, we summarize the Clostridial pathways for 1-b...

Zusammenfassung:	Graphical abstract Highlights ► This review addresses the current progress of modifying microorganisms with heterogenous elements for the production of biofuels. ► First, we summarize the 2 ketoacid-based pathways for C3–C8 alcohols production. ► Second, we summarize the Clostridial pathways for 1-butanol and isopropanol production in non-natural hosts. ► Third, we summarize fatty acids production in Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria. ► Finally, we summarize alkanes and alkenes production in E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
