Rewiring Yeast Metabolism from ethanol production to free fatty acids or other valuable chemicals production. The synthetic oil yeast was generated by driving the flux to acetyl-CoA (1), balancing the cofactor requirement (2), abolishing the ethanol production (3) and growth coupled adaptive evolution. The engineered strain could also be used for production of other valuable chemicals that are derived from cytosolic acetyl-CoA.
