TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOTECHNOLOGY - Preferred Components: The fatty acids are chosen from oleic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, and their mixtures. The biomass is derived from corn grain, corn cobs, crop residues such as corn husks, corn stover, grasses, wheat, rye, wheat straw, barley, barley straw, hay, rice straw, switchgrass, waste paper, sugarcane bagasse, Sorghum, sugar cane, soy, components obtained from milling of grains, cellulosic material, lignocellulosic material, trees, branches, roots, leaves, wood chips, sawdust, shrubs and bushes, vegetables, fruits, flowers, animal manure, and their mixtures. The fermentable carbon source is derived from the biomass. The fermentation broth further comprises ethanol. The recombinant microorganism has one or more pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) gene deletions. Preferred Method: The steps (a) (ii) and (iii) occur substantially simultaneously. The step (b) of converting at least a portion of the oil into fatty acids is performed by contacting the oil with one or more substances capable of hydrolyzing the portion of the oil into fatty acids, where the one or more substances comprise one or more enzymes. The one or more enzymes comprise lipase enzymes. The method further involves inactivating the one or more enzymes after at least a portion of the oil is hydrolyzed, before performing step (b) (iii). The steps (b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) occur in the fermentation vessel substantially simultaneously. The method further involves fermenting the fermentable carbon source to produce product alcohol. The method further involves separating oil from the biomass before the step (b) of converting at least a portion of the oil into fatty acids. The method further involves liquefying the biomass to produce a liquefied biomass, where the liquefied biomass comprises oligosaccharides, and contacting the liquefied biomass with a saccharification enzyme capable of converting oligosaccharides into fermentable sugar to form a saccharified biomass, where step (b) involves contacting the saccharified biomass with the fermentation broth comprising recombinant microorganism. The method involves contacting the oil with one or more substances capable of hydrolyzing the portion of the oil into fatty acids. The one or more substances comprise one or more enzymes. The one or more enzymes comprise lipase enzymes. EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
