Biodiesel is an interesting alternative energy source and is used as substitute for petroleum-based diesel. Microorganisms have been used for biodiesel production because of their significant environmental and economy of our society. This study was achieved by homologous expression in E. coli genes KR, ER, and KAS were predicted to encode enzymes relating in biosynthesis of Escherichia coli fatty acids. We have engineered more productive of long chain fatty acids than wild type strains and found some changes of UFA/SFA ratio in process of time. We also investigated quantitative relations of fatty acid contents and effects of various media for production of fatty acids. This approach offers a feasible means to improve the fatty acid composition of microdiesel and to produce biodiesel equivalents using engineered microorganisms in the near future.* KR: β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, ER: enoyl-ACP reductase, KAS: β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III
