In addition to their abundance, the metabolism of FAs is very efficient and could support product yields significantly higher than those obtained from lignocellulosic sugars. However, FAs are metabolized only under respiratory conditions, a metabolic mode that does not support the synthesis of fermentation products. In the work reported here we engineered several native and heterologous fermentative pathways to function in\n            <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>\n            <jats:italic>scherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n            under aerobic conditions, thus creating a respiro-fermentative metabolic mode that enables the efficient synthesis of fuels and chemicals from FAs. Representative biofuels (ethanol and butanol) and biochemicals (acetate, acetone, isopropanol, succinate, and propionate) were chosen as target products to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed platform. The yields of ethanol, acetate, and acetone in the engineered strains exceeded those reported in the literature for their production from sugars, and in the cases of ethanol and acetate they also surpassed the maximum theoretical values that can be achieved from lignocellulosic sugars. Butanol was produced at yields and titers that were between 2- and 3-fold higher than those reported for its production from sugars in previously engineered microorganisms. Moreover, our work demonstrates production of propionate, a compound previously thought to be synthesized only by propionibacteria, in\n            <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n            . Finally, the synthesis of isopropanol and succinate was also demonstrated. The work reported here represents the first effort toward engineering microorganisms for the conversion of FAs to the aforementioned products.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.00046-10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,5]],"date-time":"2010-06-05T02:22:43Z","timestamp":1275704563000},"page":"5067-5078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Engineered Respiro-Fermentative Metabolism for the Production of Biofuels and Biochemicals from Fatty Acid-Rich Feedstocks"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Clementina","family":"Dellomonaco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University, 6100 Main St., Houston, Texas 77005"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glycos Biotechnologies Inc., 711 Leverkuhn St., Houston, Texas 77007"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glycos Biotechnologies Inc., 711 Leverkuhn St., Houston, Texas 77007"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramon","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University, 6100 Main St., Houston, Texas 77005"},{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, Rice University, 6100 Main St., Houston, Texas 77005"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"Acetic acid and its derivatives. 1993"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymben.2007.08.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/msb4100050"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AEM.64.3.1079-1085.1998"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt0706-765"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biochi.2009.03.021"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0337684100"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01040869"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0065-2164(08)70221-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","first-page":"223","volume":"5","year":"1989","unstructured":"Clark, D.
