Fig. 2From: An optimized reverse β-oxidation pathway to produce selected medium-chain fatty acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeEffect of two different thiolases (Erg10 or BktB) on the production of medium-chain fatty acid. A Production of butyric acid (light grey) by VSY0 expressing a reverse β-oxidation pathway with either overexpressed Erg10 as thiolase (GDV098) or BktB as thiolase (ACBV007), or with the empty vector (EV) after 75 h of fermentation in buffered synthetic medium (SM) without uracil. B Production of hexanoic (white), octanoic (black) and decanoic acid (dark grey) by VSY0 expressing a reverse β-oxidation pathway with either overexpressed Erg10 as thiolase (GDV098) or BktB as thiolase (ACBV007), or with the empty vector (EV) after 75 h of fermentation in buffered synthetic medium (SM) without uracil. Error bars represent the standard deviation between three independent replicatesBack to article page
