Functionalized hydrocarbons have various ecological and industrial uses, from signaling molecules and antifungal/antibacterial agents to fuels and specialty chemicals. The potential to produce functionalized hydrocarbons using the cellulolytic, endophytic fungus, Ascocoryne sarcoides , was quantified using genome-enabled, stoichiometric modeling. In silico analysis identified available routes to produce these hydrocarbons, including both anabolic- and catabolic-associated strategies, and determined correlations between the type and size of the hydrocarbons and culturing conditions. The analysis quantified the limits of the wild-type metabolic network to produce functionalized hydrocarbons from cellulose-based substrates and identified metabolic engineering targets, including cellobiose phosphorylase (CP) and cytosolic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHcyt). CP and PDHcyt activity increased the theoretical production limits under anoxic conditions where less energy was extracted from the substrate. The incorporation of both engineering targets resulted in near-complete conservation of substrate electrons in functionalized hydrocarbons. The in silico framework was integrated with in vitro fungal batch growth experiments to support O 2 limitation and functionalized hydrocarbon production predictions. The metabolic reconstruction of this endophytic filamentous fungus describes pathways for both specific and general production strategies of 161 functionalized hydrocarbons applicable to many eukaryotic hosts.
