Branched Chain Alkane Production


Contents

Background

The basic alkane production system is incapable of making branched chain alkanes, as E. coli normally only makes straight chain fatty acids. We thought that if we could engineer alkane producing E. coli that also makes alkanes, we could make branched chain alkanes, a significant porportion of diesel(reference). One protein whose expression has been previously shown (reference) to cause E. coli to produce
