Global climate change caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) has
caused concerns regarding the continued reliance on fossil fuels as our primary energy …

Alcohol-forming fatty acyl reductases (FARs) catalyze the reduction of thioesters to alcohols
and are key enzymes for microbial production of fatty alcohols. Many metabolic engineering …

Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs; C6–C12) are valuable molecules used for biofuel and
oleochemical production; however, it is challenging to synthesize these fatty acids efficiently …

Microbially derived lipids have recently attracted renewed interests due to their broad
applications in production of green diesels, cosmetic additives, and oleochemicals …

Oleaginous yeasts have a unique physiology that makes them the best suited hosts for the
production of lipids, oleochemicals, and diesel‐like fuels. Their high lipogenesis, capability …

The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a route that can work in parallel to glycolysis in
