Bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis is a central metabolic process, intricately linked to membrane formation and pathogenicity. The type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) pathway, distinct from the ...

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for fatty acid biosynthesis has emerged as a promising strategy to produce renewable biofuels and value‐added chemicals. Recent advances have focused on ...

Medium- and short-chain fatty acids (C8-C14) are widely used in industries including food, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, and surfactants, and they are currently mainly extracted from coconut and palm ...

Pairing antibiotics with drugs that prevent bacteria from producing fatty acids may help combat antibiotic resistance. The drug combination was more effective at treating bacterial pneumonia in mice ...

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease（MASLD） is characterized by excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes and is closely associated with the rapid rise in insulin resistance, ...
