The β-oxidation was blocked by fadE gene deletion preventing degradation of fatty acyl-CoAs, and the activity of 3-oxoacyl-ACP synthase (FabH), which is inhibited by unsaturated fatty acyl-ACPs, was enhanced to promote the initiation of fatty acid biosynthesis by deleting the fadR gene. A modified thioesterase was employed to convert short chain fatty acyl-ACPs to the corresponding FFAs, which were consequently converted to short chain alkanes by the sequential reactions of E. coli fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, Clostridium acetobutylicum fatty acyl-CoA reductase and Arabidopsis thaliana fatty aldehyde decarbonylase. The resulting strain produced up to 580.8 mg L-1 of SCAs [This work was supported by the Advanced Biomass Research and Development Center of Korea (ABC-2010-0029799) through the Global Frontier Research Program of the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) through the National Research Foundation (NRF).
