Abstract:
The present invention relates to the biosynthesis of α-olefins. In particular, the invention provides methods for the production of medium-chain α-olefins, more particularly C11 α-olefins, using a polypeptide with decarboxylase activity on free fatty acids with 8 to 14 carbons, in particular on C8-C12 free fatty acids, more particularly on C12 free fatty acids, or a genetically engineered host cell expressing or overexpressing said polypeptide.
