Production of Long Chain Fatty Alcohols Found in Bumblebee Pheromones by Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Fatty alcohols (FA-OH) are aliphatic unbranched primary alcohols with a chain of four or more carbon atoms. Besides potential industrial applications, fatty alcohols have important biological functions as well. In nature, fatty alcohols are produced as a
