title: Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the fabD gene encoding malonyl coenzyme A-acyl carrier protein transacylase of Escherichia coli.
abstract: We report the cloning and nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding malonyl coenzyme A-acyl carrier protein transacylase of Escherichia coli. Malonyl transacylase has been overexpressed 155-fold compared to a wild-type strain. Overexpression of this enzyme alters the fatty acid composition of a wild-type E. coli strain; increased amounts of cis-vaccenate are incorporated into the membrane phospholipids.
