Microbial synthesis of medium-chain chemicals from renewables

Strategies to engineer microorganisms to produce medium-chain hydrocarbon chemicals are reviewed. Linear, medium-chain (C8–C12) hydrocarbons are important components of fuels as well as commodity and specialty chemicals. As industrial microbes do not contain pathways to produce medium-chain chemical...
