GC-MS analysis shows that our alkane production system is working
We proformed GC-MS analysis on cell cultures expressing both Acyl-ACP reductase(AAR) and Aldehyde Decarbonylase(ADC). to act as controls and in order to show that the alkane production system is working as expected.
===No significant hydrocarbons produced by cells expressing No significant peaks are found on the ADC-Only control GC plot. This is expected, as E. coli does not normally produce any long chain length substrates
