Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods of producing fatty alcohols from recombinant host cells comprising genes encoding heterologous fatty acyl-CoA reductase (FAR) enzymes. The disclosure further relates to FAR enzymes and functional fragments thereof derived from marine bacterium and particularly marine gamma proteobacterium such as Marinobacter and Oceanobacter; polynucleotides encoding the FAR enzymes and vectors and host cells comprising the same.

Abstract: Methods and compositions that reduce complexity of libraries of variant biological molecules, that reduce oversampling of these libraries during screening and that improve screening efficiency are provided. Sets of efficient degenerate codon sets are provided that efficiently encode all, or nearly all canonical amino acids. Degenerate oligonucleotides comprising these codons are provided, as are polynucleotide variants. Variant pooling strategies are used during library construction. Logical filtering is applied to select codon sites for mutagenesis, or to select amino acid sets to be incorporated at such sites. Methods for reducing non-optimal oversampling during screening are provided.
