Conversion of natural oils to fatty alcohols. A simplified reaction scheme is shown in A. Harvested cells from a preinduced culture of PC-Ahr were resuspended in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffered medium, supplemented with glucose and lipase (0.1–1 mg·mL⁻¹), and incubated at 30 °C with shaking at 150 rpm for up to 5 h in the presence of (B) algae (C. reinhardtii strain cc406) or (C) coconut oil. *Fatty acid intermediate.
