Functional assay of the highest expressed FAR in As_PG, Ase_1929 identified in this study. GC trace of hexane extract of yeast transformed by empty plasmid (a) and pYES2_CL1929 supplemented with Z5-10:Me (b), Z7-12:Me (c), Z9-14:Me (d). The control yeast produced no fatty alcohols whereas the yeast expressing Ase_1929 convert a series of fatty acids into their corresponding fatty alcohols (b-d)
