Abstract: The docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) biosynthesis gene cluster (pDHA3) from the DHA-producing Moritella marina strain MP-1 includes the genes pfaA, pfaB, pfaC, and pfaD, which are similar to the genes of polyketide biosynthesis. When this cluster was co-expressed in Escherichia coli with M. marina MP-1 pfaE, which encodes phosphopantetheinyl transferase, DHA was biosynthesized. The maximum production of DHA (5% of total fatty acids) was observed at 15°C. This is the first report of the recombinant production of DHA in a polyketide biosynthesis mode.
