a Previously described pathways for hydrocarbon production with yeast (modified from [4]). Y. lipolytica enzymes are shown in green, intracellular metabolites in black. Orange coloured enzymes are investigated in [4], dark blue coloured enzymes are reviewed in [33]. Acc, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; Fas, Fatty acid synthase; AAR/FAR, fatty/acyl-ACP reductase; ADO, aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase; CAR, carboxylic acid reductase; DOX, α-dioxygenase; Faa, fatty acyl-CoA synthetase; ACR, fatty acyl-CoA reductase; FAD, fatty aldehyde decarbonylase; OleT, cytochrome P450 fatty acid decarboxylases (CYP152 family); UndA/B, aldehyde decarboxylases; CER/CYP4G, aldehyde decarbonylases. b Expression of CvFAP, with modifications of strain JMY5749 shown in red, characterized in this study. DGA2, acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase; TGL4/KlTGL3 intracellular lipases; MFE1, peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme 1; CvFAP, fatty acid photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis
