Functional expression and characterization of five wax ester synthases in <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>and their utility for biodiesel production
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Wax ester synthases (WSs) can synthesize wax esters from alcohols and fatty acyl coenzyme A thioesters. The knowledge of the preferred substrates for each WS allows the use of yeast cells for the production of wax esters that are hig...
