Induction of acyl coenzyme A synthetase and hydroxyacyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase during fatty acid degradation in Neurospora crassa.

RESUMO
Neurospora crassa is able to use long-chain fatty acids as the sole carbon and energy source. After growth on oleate there was nearly a 10-fold induction of the acyl coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase and a fivefold increase in the activity of the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. There was a slight induction of the enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, but no apparent induction of the flavin-linked acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. These noncoordinate changes in the fatty acid degradation enzymes suggest that they are not organized into a multienzyme complex as is found in bacteria.
