Schematic overview of fatty acid, alkane (alkene) and main competing metabolic pathways in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. Key enzyme genes in those pathways are indicated. 3-PGA, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; PYR, pyruvate; PHB, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate; acyl-ACP, acyl- acyl carrier protein; ddh, 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase gene; phaA, polyhydroxyalkanoates-specific beta-ketothiolase gene; accBCDA, multi-subunit acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene;lipA, lipolytic enzyme gene; aas, acyl-ACP synthetase gene; aar, acyl-ACP reductase gene; ado, aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase.
