The proposed biosynthesis pathway of succinoyl trehalose lipids from alkanes. There are three general phases in STL production from alkanes. The alkane metabolism phase requires AlkB as the initial enzyme, and Fda works as a gluconeogenesis enzyme for trehalose backbone synthesis. In the final step of STL biosynthesis, TlsA transfers acyl groups to trehalose or its derivatives. TCA, tricarboxylic acid.
