The fatty acids are important precursors for the production of valuable chemicals and fuels. In this study, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae was designed for the enhanced production of fatty acids and fatty acids derivatives. The idh1 and idh2 genes involved in citrate turnover pathway in the TCA cycl...
