Microbial production of alka(e)ne biofuels

- Fatty acid, aldehyde and acyl-CoA/ACP are major precursors for alka(e)ne synthesis.
- Different metabolic strategies greatly affect alka(e)ne yield and properties.
- Fatty acid metabolism is critical for alka(e)ne biosynthesis.
- Choice of microbial platform is important for alka(e)ne biosynthesis.
- Optimized culture condition is important for alka(e)ne generation.
