branched alkenes that was observed during the transition from early to late stationary phase in M. luteus: structural studies of a key enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis in M. luteus (FabH, or ß - ketoacyl - ACP synthase III) and transcriptional (whole - genome microarray) studies of M. luteus during different growth phases.
