Linkage of Marine Bacterial Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid and Long-Chain Hydrocarbon Biosynthesis

Linkage of Marine Bacterial Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid and Long-Chain Hydrocarbon Biosynthesis

Various marine gamma-proteobacteria produce omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6, DHA), which are incorporated into membrane phospholipids. Five genes, designated pfaABCDE, encode the polyketide/fatty acid synthase necessary fo...
