Engineered microorganisms are provided that convert gaseous substrates, such as producer gas, into limonene. In some embodiments, limonene is pumped out of the cell via an efflux pump. In some embodiments, limonene, produced as described herein, is converted through catalytic dimerization into jet fuel. Producer gas used in the processes described herein for production of limonene may be derived from sources that include gasification of waste feedstock and/or biomass residue, waste gas from industrial processes, or natural gas, biogas, or landfill gas. |
