Recombinant DNA techniques are used to produce oleaginous recombinant cells that produce triglyceride oils having desired fatty acid profiles and regiospecific or stereospecific profiles. Genes manipulated include those encoding stearoyl-ACP desaturase, delta 12 fatty acid desaturase, acyl-ACP thioesterase, ketoacyl-ACP synthase, and lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase. The oil produced can have enhanced oxidative or thermal stability, or can be useful as a frying oil, shortening, roll-in shortening, tempering fat, cocoa butter replacement, as a lubricant, or as a feedstock for various chemical processes. The fatty acid profile can be enriched in midchain profiles or the oil can be enriched in triglycerides of the saturated-unsaturated-saturated type.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid using a β-ketoacyl synthase or a β-ketothiolase to form either a 5-amino-3-oxopentanoyl-[ACP] or 5-amino-3-oxopentanoyl-CoA intermediate. 7-aminoheptanoic acid can be enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol or the corresponding salts thereof. This document also describes recombinant microorganisms producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid as well as pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol or the corresponding salts thereof.

Provided is a method for construction of recombinant bacteria for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid. The method includes: knocking out fadR, fabF and fabH genes of recipient bacteria, introducing acc genes or gene clusters, alKL and Mcr genes, and enhancing the expression of fadL, fadD, sthA genes and atoSC gene clusters in the recipient bacteria. Also provided is a method for producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid by using the recombinant bacteria.
