Claims29
A recombinant bacterium, wherein the bacterium is capable of producing fatty acids and is capable of the inducible release of fatty acids from a cellular membrane.
A recombinant bacterium, wherein the bacterium is modified to encode one or more thioesterases that specify synthesis and secretion of saturated C10 to C14 chain fatty acids that are secreted more efficiently than saturated and unsaturated C16 and C18 chain fatty acids.
A recombinant bacterium, wherein the bacterium is capable of producing fatty acids and comprises at least one modified polar cell layer.
