Engineered pathways for the production of FABCEs. Branched-chain alcohols (isobutanol and isoamylol) were produced through the branched-chain amino acid biosynthetic pathway by overexpression of alsS, ilvC, ilvD, aro10, and adh2. FABCEs were synthesized through esterification of branched-chain alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs by overexpression of ws/dgat. Furthermore, BFABCEs were produced by overexpression of ws/dgat which can catalyze esterification of branched-chain alcohols and branched fatty acyl-CoAs produced by the overexpression of bckd and fabHB
