Appl Environ Microbiol
. 2024 Oct;
90(11):e0126724.
PMID: 39404437
Importance: bacteria demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently colonize a wide range of ecological niches. A characteristic of these bacteria is a pair of genes in tandem...

122(5):757-771.
PMID: 39380216
Enterococcus faecalis incorporates and elongates exogeneous short- and medium-chain fatty acids to chains sufficiently long to enter membrane phospholipid synthesis. The acids are activated by the E. faecalis fatty acid...

. 2024 Feb;
300(2):105600.
PMID: 38335573
The condensation of acetyl-CoA with malonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) by β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (KAS III, FabH) and decarboxylation of malonyl-ACP by malonyl-ACP decarboxylase are the two pathways that initiate bacterial...

. 2023 Oct;
169(10).
PMID: 37818937
PAO1 has two aerobic pathways for synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), DesA and DesB plus the oxygen independent FabAB pathway. The DesA desaturase acts on saturated acyl chains of...
