We have focused on the production of jet-fuel precursors from biomass due to rising petroleum costs and environmental concerns and developed a microbial cell factory that enables to produce the possible candidates of a jet-fuel precursor. Corynebacterium glutamicum was engineered by introducing biofuel producing pathway constructed in the BioBrick-formatted expression vector systems. Heterologous target genes were synthetized and optimized to produce a precursor of jet fuel candidates. In addition, the effect of cultivation of C. glutamicum for the jet-fuel production was investigated for the higher-production. So, the jet-fuel production platform by engineered C. glutamicum could be useful to biofuels production application.
