Figure 4
Metabolic pathways for the production of fatty acids and derived compounds. Enzymes and arrows are shown in green, if the pathway to which they belong departs from the wild-type fatty acid metabolism. The end products are shown in gray boxes. Appropriate deletions or homologous overexpressions within the wild-type pathway are not highlighted in this figure. For details, the reader is referred to the text. FAB, fatty acid biosynthesis; FAD, fatty -acid degradation; Aar, acyl-ACP reductase; Aco, acyl-CoA oxidase; Acr1, acyl-CoA reductase; Adc, aldehyde decarbonylase; Ahr, aldehyde recuctase; AtfA, acyltransferase; Cad, carboxylic acid decarboxylase; Car, carboxylic acid reductase; FadM, thioesterase; PgpB, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate phosphatase; PhaC2, PHA synthase 2; PhaG, (R)-3-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP transacylase; PhaJ, (R)-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase; SHMKS1, methylketone synthase 1; SHMKS2, methylketone synthase 2; TesA, thioesterase.
