Abstract: The disclosure relates to fatty diols and recombinant microorganisms for producing them. More particularly, the disclosure relates to recombinant microorganisms engineered to produce fatty diols via fermentation. Further encompassed is a process that uses the microorganisms to produce fatty diols from a simple carbon source.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of EntD polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the same, and homologues thereof to enhance the production of fatty aldehydes and fatty alcohols in a host cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel mutant thioesterase enzymes and naturally-occurring equivalents thereof, compositions made from such enzymes and uses of thioesterase enzymes. In particular, the present invention provides mutant thioesterase enzymes that have altered properties, for example, altered substrate specificity, altered activity, altered selectivity, and/or altered proportional yields in the product mixtures. The present invention also provides polynucleotides encoding such mutant thioesterase enzymes, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further provides for novel uses of thioesterases in the production of various fatty acid derivatives, which are useful as, or as components of, industrial chemicals and fuels.
