Biosynthetic pathways for BLFL production. α-Keto acid generation module converts pyruvate to α-keto acid: 3-methyl-2-oxobutyric acid or 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid. Acyl-ACP generation module incorporates α-keto acid to the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway. Alcohol formation module converts branched-chain acyl-ACPs to BLFLs
