Detection of formate, rather than carbon monoxide, as the stoichiometric co-product in conversion of fatty aldehydes to alkanes by a cyanobacterial aldehyde decarbonylase

The second of two reactions in a recently discovered pathway through which saturated fatty acids are converted to alkanes (and unsaturated fatty acids to alkenes) in cyanobacteria entails scission of the C1–C2 bond of a fatty aldehyde intermediate by the enzyme aldehyde decarbonylase (AD), a ferriti...
