Some bacteria have lipoxygenase enzymes that can oxidize host unsaturated fatty acids during infections of plants and animals to create oxylipins that signal to mediate virulence, and for example, the opportunistic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a diol synthase to catalyse the stereospecific oxygenation of oleic acid to 10-HOME and 7,10-diHOME
