Claim Text:
1. An engineered microorganism for production of an alkane or alkene, comprising: (i) a first nucleotide sequence encoding an aldehyde biosynthetic polypeptide that catalyzes the conversion of acyl ACP to a fatty aldehyde in an engineered microorganism, wherein the aldehyde biosynthetic polypeptide encoded by the first nucleotide sequence has at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 72; and (ii) a second nucleotide sequence encoding an alkane or alkene biosynthetic polypeptide that catalyzes the conversion of a fatty aldehyde to an alkane or alkene in said engineered microorganism, wherein the alkane or alkene biosynthetic polypeptide encoded by the second nucleotide sequence has at least 85% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 20, and wherein each of said first and second nucleotide sequences is operably linked to a promoter.
