A substantially pure
Candida
host cell for the production of a α-carboxyl-ω-hydroxy fatty acid having a carbon chain length in the range from C6 to C22, a α,ω-dicarboxylic fatty acid having a carbon chain length in the range from C6 to C22, or mixtures thereof, is provided. The
Candida
host cell is characterized by a first genetic modification class and a second genetic modification class. The first genetic modification class comprises one or more genetic modifications that disrupt the peroxisomal β-oxidation pathway. The second genetic modification class comprises one or more genetic modifications that collectively or individually disrupt at least one gene selected from the group consisting of a CYP52A type cytochrome P450, a fatty alcohol oxidase, and an alcohol dehydrogenase.
