Abstract

The invention generally relates to the production of a fatty alcohol composition from recombinant microbial cells. The fatty alcohols are produced by expressing a gene encoding a heterologous fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase ('FAR'); a gene encoding a heterologous thioesterase ('TE') gene and a gene encoding an acyl-CoA synthetase (“ACS”).
