Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids

plete dependence of fatty acid synthesis on the presence of HCO,-, adenosine 5’-triphosphate, and Mg++ or Mn++ (3, 4), in addition to acetyl coenzyme A, was demonstrated. The re- quirement for CO% for fatty acid synthesis was also demonstrated in an enzyme system obtained from avocado (5), intact yeast ................
