1. An engineered bacterial microorganism comprising at least one polynucleotide encoding at least one heterologous fatty acyl-ACP reductase enzyme (FAR), wherein said FAR comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 28 and has fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase activity, and a first recombinant polynucleotide encoding a FabZ enzyme, wherein said FabZ enzyme comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO;
8, wherein the engineered bacterial microorganism produces a fatty alcohol composition comprising C10 to C18 fatty alcohols.
