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.
