We study a fractional reaction-diffusion system with two types of variables: activator and inhibitor. The interactions between components are modeled by cubical nonlinearity. Linearization of the system around the homogeneous state provides information about the stability of the solutions which is quite different from linear stability analysis of the regular system with integer derivatives. It is shown that by combining the fractional derivatives index with the ratio of characteristic times, it is possible to find the marginal value of the index where the oscillatory instability arises. The increase of the value of fractional derivative index leads to the time periodic solutions. The domains of existing of periodic solutions for different parameters of the problem are obtained. A computer simulation of the corresponding nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations is presented. It is established by computer simulation that there exists a set of stable spatio-temporal tructures of the one-dimensional system under the Neumann and periodic boundary condition. The features of these solutions consist in the transformation of the steady state dissipative structures to homogeneous oscillations or space temporary structures at a certain value of fractional index and the ratio of characteristic times of system.
