The present invention relates to a method for producing fatty acids, in particular shot/medium-chain fatty acids (S/MCFA), by expression in a host cell of a recombinant fatty acid synthase (FAS) naturally devoid of a thioesterase (TE) domain comprising a heterologous thioesterase (TE). The invention further relates to polynucleotides comprising such recombinant FAS, polypeptides encoded thereby, and vectors comprising such polynucleotides, as well as recombinant host cells comprising the polynucleotides, polypeptides, or vectors.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for expression of functional bacterial type I fatty acid synthase in photosynthetic hosts for production of activated acyl-CoAs and for use in biofuel production.

Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of a method of detection, treatment, and monitoring of cardiovascular disease or a foot wound by detection of a novel biomarker, Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS).

The invention provides recombinant host organisms genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The present invention also relates to methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.

This disclosure concerns recombinant host organisms genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The disclosure also concerns methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.

The present disclosure relates to methods, cells, and compositions for producing a product of interest, e.g., a recombinant protein. In particular, the present disclosure provides improved mammalian cells expressing the product of interest, where the cells (e.g., Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells) have reduced or eliminated activity, e.g., expression, of certain host cell proteins, e.g., enzymes including, but not limited to, certain lipases, esterases, and/or hydrolases.

This disclosure concerns a novel modular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthase and recombinant host organisms genetically modified with such synthase and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The disclosure also concerns methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.
