Pathway for fatty alcohol production; a simplified pathway for the metabolic conversion of glucose into fatty alcohols in S. cerevisiae and Y. lipolytica. Color-coded text and arrows: red, pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae; blue, pathway in Yarrowia lipolytica; green, heterologous reactions. The red X-symbol signifies corresponding gene knockouts. Abbreviations: ACL, ATP citrate lyase; ACS, acetyl–CoA synthase; ACC, acetylCoA carboxylase; FAS, fatty acid synthase complex; FAR, fatty acyl–CoA reductase; PEX10, peroxin 10; FAO1, fatty alcohol oxidase; HFD1, fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1); HFD4, fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 (ALDH4).
