Fatty Acid Synthesis of an Eicosapentaenoic Acid-Producing Bacterium: De Novo Synthesis, Chain Elongation, and Desaturation Systems

The fatty acid synthesis systems of a Shewanella sp., strain SCRC-2738, that produces a large amount of eicosapentaenoic acid were investigated. Two kinds of fatty acid synthesis system, de novo synthesis and chain elongation ones, were detected in the cytosol. The de novo synthesis system required...
