Many bacteria possess all the machineries required to grow on fatty acids (FA) as a unique
source of carbon and energy. FA degradation proceeds through the β-oxidation cycle that …

Bacteria can use fatty acids (FAs) from their environment as carbon and energy source. This
catabolism is performed by the enzymes of the well-known β-oxidation machinery …

Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli can utilize fatty acids and acetate as sole
carbon and energy sources (30, 51, 76). After entry into the cell, fatty acids are either …

5.4. Genetic and biochemical characterization of fatty acyl CoA synthetase 165 5.5.
Evidence for additional protein components in the Class I fatty acid transport system 171 6 …

ABSTRACT In Escherichia coli, the FadR transcriptional regulator represses the expression
of fatty acid degradation (fad) genes. However, FadR is also an activator of the expression of …

The entire fatty acid biosynthetic pathway of Escherichia coli, starting from the acetyl-CoA
carboxylase, has been reconstituted in vitro from 14 purified protein components …

Based on its genome sequence, the pathway of β-oxidative fatty acid degradation in
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 has been thought to be identical to the well …

Fatty acids are the building blocks of diverse membrane lipids and therefore are essential for
the viability of all cells, except the Archaea where side chains of membrane lipids are …

FadD is an acyl coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase responsible for the activation of exogenous
long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) into acyl-CoAs. Mutation of fadD in the symbiotic nitrogen …

In Escherichia coli expression of the genes of fatty acid degradation (fad) is negatively
regulated at the transcriptional level by FadR protein. In contrast the unsaturated fatty acid …
