Acinetobacter baumannii has a novel β‐ketoacyl‐acyl carrier protein synthase III (KAS III), which can feed long, host‐derived fatty acyl‐CoA molecules into de novo fatty acid synthesis. The crystal structure of KAS III reveals structural changes in the active site that allow accommodation of octanoyl‐CoA. For details, see the article by Lee et al. on pp. 567–577 of this issue.
