Abstract excerpt
The 38 kb eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) biosynthesis gene cluster of Shewanella sp. strain SCRC-2738 was cloned into the cosmid vector (pEPA). A 27 kb nucleotide sequence of the XhoI to SpeI region of pEPA showed EPA production (6.3%) in E. coli JM109. Among the nine open reading frames (ORFs) in t...
