Role of <i>Sinorhizobium meliloti</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase FadD in Long-Term Survival

FadD is an acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase specific for long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Strains mutated in fadD cannot produce acyl-CoA and thus cannot grow on exogenous LCFA as the sole carbon source. Mutants in the fadD (smc02162) of Sinorhizobium meliloti are unable to grow on oleate as the sole...
