  • Genes and uses thereof, methods for synthesizing odd numbered medium chain aliphatic aldehydes and methods for synthesizing even numbered medium chain aliphatic hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 10308915
    Abstract: Provided are genes, coding proteins and uses thereof, gene elements, genes and uses, gene elements, methods for synthesizing odd numbered medium chain aliphatic aldehydes, for synthesizing odd numbered medium chain aliphatic alcohol and for synthesizing even numbered medium chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. Provided is method for producing odd numbered aliphatic alcohols in Escherichia coli. An ?-dioxygenase from rice is used without additional deoxidization and energy supply from cells. The ?-dioxygenase can also be used for synthesizing aliphatic alcohols with different proportions of C11 to C15 by co-working with different thioesterases.
