NOVELTY - Producing fatty alcohol, involves (a) expressing in host cell a gene encoding a polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 18-92 (even numbers), 264-272 (even numbers), and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, or (b) expressing in a host cell a gene encoding polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to a 1174 amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 16) fully defined in the specification, and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell.    USE - The method is useful for producing fatty alcohol which is used as surfactants (all claimed) e.g. nonionic surfactants, biofuel, solvents for fats, waxes, gums and resins, textile antistatic and finishing agents, plasticizers or lubricating-oil additives, in pharmaceutical salves, emollients, lotions, detergents, emulsifiers and cosmetics as thickeners, and for producing chemicals.    ADVANTAGE - The fatty alcohols are obtained without extensive refining and used as excellent source of energy alternative to petrochemicals.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing fatty alcohol, involves (a) expressing in host cell a gene encoding a polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 18-92 (even numbers), 264-272 (even numbers), and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, (b) expressing in a host cell a gene encoding polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to a 1174 amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 16) fully defined in the specification, and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, (c) expressing in a host cell a recombinant vector comprising nucleotide sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17-91 (odd numbers), 263-271 (odd numbers), and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, (d) expressing in a host cell a recombinant vector comprising a nucleotide sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to a 3525 base pair sequence (SEQ ID NO: 15) fully defined in the specification, and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, (e) expressing in a host cell a gene encoding polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 94-194 (even numbers), and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell, or (f) expressing in a host cell a recombinant vector comprising a nucleotide sequence exhibiting 80% or more homology to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 93-193 (odd numbers), and isolating the fatty alcohol from the host cell. The polypeptide sequences mentioned above are available in electronic form from the USPTO web site http://seqdata.uspto.gov/sequence.html;DocID: 20100105963. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) fatty alcohol produced by the above method; and    (2) surfactant comprising the above fatty alcohol.
