General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function expression in yeast leads to production of mainly 18:0 and 16:0 alcohols, which account for 57% and 29% of the total fatty alcohol production respectively, while18:1-0H and 20:0-OH are formed in lower quantities Simmondsia chinensis
