Function Catalyzes the final step of fatty acid oxidation in which acetyl-CoA is released and the CoA ester of a fatty acid two carbons shorter is formed. Strongly involved in the anaerobic degradation of long and medium-chain fatty acids in the presence of nitrate and weakly involved in the aerobic degradation of long- chain fatty acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12270828, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535077}.
