Catalysis of the ligation of a fatty acid to an acceptor, coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + a medium-chain carboxylic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-CoA; medium-chain fatty acids have chain lengths of C8-12. Catalysis of the ligation of two substances via a carbon-sulfur bond with concomitant breakage of a diphosphate linkage, usually in a nucleoside triphosphate.
