Abstract excerpt

A set of genetically engineered Escherichia coli strains was constructed, in which the promoter of the fabA gene is fused to Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE either in a multi-copy plasmid or as a single copy chromosomal integration. The fabA gene codes for beta-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP dehydrase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and is induced when fatty acid biosynthesis pathways are interrupted. A...
