Ester-Producing Mechanism of Ethanol O-acyltransferase EHT1 Gene in Pichia pastoris from Shanxi Aged Vinegar

Figure 1

Fatty acid biosynthesis and its relationship with medium-chain fatty acid ester formation in Pichia pastoris. Dashed ellipse represents fatty acid synthase complex; dashed arrow represents the inhibition of long chain fatty acid acyl-CoA on acetyl-CoA carboxylase. EHT1 and EEB1 genes regulate the expression of ethanol O-acyltransferase.
