Provided herein are non-naturally occurring microbial organisms having a pathway for production of (3R)-hydroxybutyl (3R)-hydroxybutyrate, wherein the organism can further include a (R)-1,3-butanediol pathway, a (3R)-hydroxybutyrate pathway, a (3R)-hydroxybutyryl-CoA pathway, an acetoacetate pathway, an acetoacetyl-CoA pathway, a (3R)-hydroxybutyl-ACP pathway, or an acetoacetyl-ACP pathway. Additionally provided are methods and processes for producing and isolating (3R)-hydroxybutyl (3R)-hydroxybutyrate using the microbial organisms, and various compositions having the (3R)-hydroxybutyl (3R)-hydroxybutyrate. Still further provided are methods of treating or preventing a disease, disorder or condition using the (3R)-hydroxybutyl (3R)-hydroxybutyrate produced by the microbial organisms of the invention.
