Hydrocarbon production in cultures of E. coli expressing FAP or FAP and thioesterase. Time course of hydrocarbon production. Cells were grown in batch culture under constant light illumination. Chlorella variabilis FAP (FAP) and Umbellularia californica thioesterase (Tes) were expressed in E. coli. Hydrocarbons were quantified in the harvested cells and in the gas phase of the culture using the hydrocarbon trap (Fig. 2). Total refers to cells plus gas phase. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments using three different bacterial cultures.
