Abstract A cluster of genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis (fab) was isolated from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-producing Vibrio marinus strain MP-1. This fab gene cluster included five genes highly homologous to the Escherichia coli counterparts, and their order in the cluster was the same with that of the E. coli fab gene cluster except that the latter included the additional fabH gene. These fab genes should be involved in early steps of DHA biosynthesis in V. marinus strain MP-1.
