Abstract excerpt
Branched chain fatty acids (BCFA) are an appealing biorefinery-driven target of fatty acid (FA) production. BCFAs typically have lower melting points compared to straight chain FAs, making them useful in lubricants and biofuels. Actinobacteria, especially Streptomyces species, have unique secondary metabolism that are capable of producing not only antibiotics, but also high percentage of BCFAs in their membrane...
