This invention relates to metabolically engineered microorganism strains, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a fatty acid or fatty acid derived product, wherein the modified microorganism produces fatty acyl-CoA intermediates via a malonyl-CoA dependent but malonyl-ACP independent mechanism.

Provided are genetically engineered microorganism that catalyze the synthesis of propane and/or butanol from a suitable substrate such as glucose. Also provided are methods of engineering said genetically engineered microorganism and methods of producing propane and/or butanol using the genetically engineered microorganism.

A method for producing isoprene includes culturing E. coli, which has isoprene productivity and in which a gene encoding a recA protein is attenuated or deleted, in a medium containing a carbon source. Therefore, a great amount of isoprene may be produced within a short period of time, and thereby considerably decreasing isoprene production unit costs.
