Methods and compositions for the production of oil, fuels, oleochemicals, and other compounds in recombinant microorganisms are provided, including oil-bearing microorganisms and methods of low cost cultivation of such microorganisms. Microalgal cells containing exogenous genes encoding, for example, a lipase, a sucrose transporter, a sucrose invertase, a fructokinase, a polysaccharide-degrading enzyme, a keto acyl-ACP synthase enzyme, a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase, a fatty acyl-CoA/aldehyde reductase, a fatty acyl-CoA reductase, a fatty aldehyde reductase, a fatty acid hydroxylase, a desaturase enzyme, a fatty aldehyde decarbonylase, and/or an acyl carrier protein are useful in manufacturing transportation fuels such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, and renewable jet fuel, as well as oleochemicals such as functional fluids, surfactants, soaps and lubricants.
本文提供了用于在重组微生物中生产油、燃料、油脂化学品和其他化合物的方法和组合物,包括含油微生物和低成本培养这种微生物的方法。含有外源基因编码脂肪酶、蔗糖转运蛋白、蔗糖转化酶、果糖激酶、多糖降解酶、酮基酰基-ACP合酶酶、脂肪酰-ACP硫酯酶、脂肪酰-CoA/醛还原酶、脂肪酰-CoA还原酶、脂肪醛还原酶、脂肪酸羟化酶、不饱和酶、脂肪醛脱羰基酶和/或酰基载体蛋白的微藻细胞可用于制造可再生柴油、生物柴油和可再生喷气燃料,以及油脂化学品,如功能流体、表面活性剂、肥皂和润滑剂。
