Thioesterase variants having improved activity for the production of medium-chain fatty acid derivatives
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to engineered plant acyl-ACP thioesterases having improved activity for the production of medium-chain fatty acid derivatives including e.g., eight carbon and ten carbon fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives. The disclosure further relates to recombinant host cells comprising the engineered plant acyl-ACP thioesterases having improved activity for the production of medium-chain fatty acid derivatives. The disclosure also relates to methods of decreasing toxicity and improving production of medium-chain fatty acids and derivatives.
