Processes for producing polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic organisms

The present invention relates to polynucleotides from Ostreococcus lucimarinus which encode desaturases and elongases, and can be used for the recombinant production of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, the invention relates to vectors, host cells and transgenic non-human organisms which con...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to polynucleotides from Ostreococcus lucimarinus which encode desaturases and elongases, and can be used for the recombinant production of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, the invention relates to vectors, host cells and transgenic non-human organisms which contain the polynucleotides, and also the polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides. Finally, the invention also relates to production processes for the polyunsaturated fatty acids and for oil, lipid and fatty acid compositions.
