antibiotic sensitive enoyl-acyl carrier reductase

Accession ARO:3000872
DefinitionEnoyl-acyl carrier reductases catalyze the final enoyl reduction step in bacterial type II fatty acid elongation. Triclosan antibiotics block enoyl reduction and therefore fatty acid synthesis, functioning as a broad spectrum biocide and antibiotic.
