Effect of the Deletion of Genes Related to Amino Acid Metabolism on the Production of Higher Alcohols by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Figure 1

The pathway of higher alcohol formation in S. cerevisiae. Two pathways for yeast to metabolize higher alcohols are described in the figure. Amongst them, the orange dotted box represents the biosynaptic pathway, and the green dotted box represents the Ehrlich pathway. The colored dots in the figure represent n-propanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, phenylethanol, and other higher alcohols.
