Operon Lux C,E and D with an aldehyde decarbonylase
The operon Lux formed by the genes C, E and D are components of a fatty acid reductase system with reductase, synthetase and transferase activities, respectively. Using fatty acids as a substrate for alkanes biosynthesis, the Lux D gene provides a fatty acid substrate for the fatty acyl synthetase LuxE, that act cleaving activated fatty acids. The fatty acyl reductase subunit (LuxC) then uses the product of the LuxE to produce a fatty aldehyde, an aldehyde with a "fatty" aliphatic carbon chain attached that is typically eight carbon or more in length. After the production of fatty aldehyde occurs the action of the aldehyde decarbonylase, that catalyzes the conversion of fatty aldehydes to alkanes by the retirade of the aliphatic carbon chain.
