Title: Producing alpha-olefins using polyketide synthases

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1415467

The present invention provides for a polyketide synthase (PKS) capable of synthesizing an .alpha.-olefin, such as 1-hexene or butadiene. The present invention also provides for a host cell comprising the PKS and when cultured produces the .alpha.-olefin.
