Figure 3. Production of 1-octanol from octanoic acid.

Figure 3.

(A) E. coli DE (MG1655 ΔfadD ΔfadE) cells carrying plasmids with MtFadD6 ACS and various acyl-CoA reductases are tested for their ability to convert octanoic acid to 1-octanol. (B) DE cells carrying pACYC-MtFadD6 and different acyl-CoA reductases in a pBTRK plasmid were tested to determine an optimal ACR. Cells were grown in LB media with 500 mg/L octanoic acid (see materials and methods), and the 1-octanol production was tracked over time. MaACR, MtACR and MbACR were the best performers with similar peak production.
