Overproduction of cis-vaccenic acid and altered temperature control of fatty acid synthesis in a mutant of Escherichia coli.
A mutant of Escherichia coli has been characterized which overproduces cis-vaccenic acid in the temperature range of 30 to 42 degrees C. The mutational lesion acts within the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway rather than at the level of fatty acid incorporation into phospholipid.
