Abstract
The increasing availability of fungal genomes and transcriptomes enables the identification of important metabolic pathways for hydrocarbon production. The number of fungal-based compounds having potential for use in hydrocarbon fuels and products is increasing as new compound and pathway discoveries are made and advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology enable the production of these compounds. Several challenges remain including increasing carbon flux toward hydrocarbon fuel precursors in primary metabolism, increasing the low titers of hydrocarbons produced, and establishing robust host strains. Also, more fuel property testing of fungal-derived compounds individually or in fuel blendstocks is needed to determine the true potential of these compounds in liquid transportation fuels.
