Abstract: This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 7-hydroxyheptanoate methyl ester and heptanoic acid heptyl ester using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, an alcohol O-acetyltransferase, and a monooxygenase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such exogenous enzymes. 7-hydroxyheptanoate methyl esters and heptanoic acid heptyl esters can be enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoate, 7-hydroxyheptanoate, heptamethylenediamine, or 1,7-heptanediol.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for more efficiently recycling reduced electron carriers in a hydrogen-oxidizing microorganism with an operable Calvin-Benson cycle; synthetic carbon fixation pathways that recycle reduced electron carriers more efficiently than the Calvin-Benson cycle, such as methods for enzymatically converting carbon dioxide to formate and assimilating the resulting formate into central carbon metabolism; methods for producing biochemical products; and recombinant hosts utilizing one or more synthetic carbon fixation pathways.

Abstract: This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 6-hydroxyhexanoate methyl ester and hexanoic acid hexyl ester using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, an alcohol O-acetyltransferase and a monooxygenase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such enzymes. 6-hydroxyhexanoate methyl esters and hexanoic acid hexyl ester can be enzymatically converted to adipic acid, adipate semialdehyde, 6-aminohexanoate, 6-hydroxyhexanoate, hexamethylenediamine, and 1,6-hexanediol.

Abstract: This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 5-hydroxypentanoate methyl ester and pentanoic acid pentyl ester using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, an alcohol O-acetyltransferase, and a monooxygenase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such exogenous enzymes. 5-hydroxypentanoate methyl esters and pentanoic acid pentyl esters can be enzymatically converted to glutaric acid, 5-aminopentanoate, 5-hydroxypentanoate, cadaverine, or 1,5-pentanediol.
