Functional expression and characterization of five wax ester synthases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and their utility for biodiesel production

BACKGROUND: 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 high-value materials and can be used in a variety of indus...
