This disclosure concerns the metabolic engineering of microorganisms to provide biosynthetic methods for the production of insect pheromones and precursors thereof in a scalable and eco-friendly fermentation reaction; for example, by converting saturated or unsaturated substrate feedstocks utilizing exogenous metabolic machinery.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to nitrapyrin complexes and mixtures as well as syntheses thereof finding particular utility in agricultural uses. For example, these complexes or mixtures can be directly applied to soil, or can be applied in combination with fertilizers to increase nutrient uptake and to inhibit nitrification and urease hydrolysis. More particularly, the subject matter is directed to nitrapyrin complexed or mixed with monoacids that can be further functionalized. Other uses of the nitrapyrin complexes and mixtures, and compositions containing the nitrapyrin complexes and mixtures are disclosed.
