The biosynthesis of omega-3 in deep-sea bacteria takes place not by the desaturation and elongation of saturated fatty acids, but rather by a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system which resembles a PKS in that it builds the fatty acid one acyl unit at a time, introducing the double bonds as the chain grows attached to an acyl carrier protein (35).

Abbreviations: EST, expressed sequence tag; FAD, fatty acid desaturase; RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; SACPD, stearoyl acyl carrier protein desaturase.

The fatty acids produced through this process are palmitic (16:0), stearic (18:0), and oleic (18:1[delta]9) acids, which are released from acyl carrier protein by the activities of thioesterases.
