medium-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity [GO_0031956]
Catalysis of the reaction: a medium-chain fatty acid + ATP + CoA = a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate. A medium-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 6 to 12 carbons.

Class
Catalysis of the reaction: a medium-chain fatty acid + ATP + CoA = a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate. A medium-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 6 to 12 carbons.
While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283).
