Diversity and distribution of microbial long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic genes in the marine environment.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Mar 2011

Shulse Christine N, Allen Eric E

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial production of long-chain fatty acids via a polyketide synthase-related mechanism has thus far only been investigated in isolate-based studies. Here, the genetic capacity for production of long-chain fatty acids was investigated using a culture-independent approach. PCR primers targeting the keto-acyl synthase (KS) domain of the pfaA gene involved in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis...
