As a model photosynthetic microorganism, cyanobacterium has large potential applications in biotechnology efforts aimed at the direct conversion of carbon dioxide and solar energy to fatty acid based biochemicals and biofuels.Fatty acid activation is crucial for lipid metabolism, energy conservation, regulation of gene expression, and the biosynthesis of fatty acid derivatives.Free fatty acids are typically activated by thioesterification processes, catalyzed by fatty acyl-CoA synthetase or fatty acyl ACP synthetase.
