Abstract excerpt
The biosynthesis and incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipid membranes are unique features of certain marine Gammaproteobacteria inhabiting high-pressure and/or low-temperature environments. In these bacteria, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids are produced via the classical dissociated type II fatty acid synthase mechanism, while omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as...
