Method of producing lipid

摘要

A method of improving lipid productivity, containing the steps of:enhancing the expression of a gene encoding the following protein (A) or (B), andimproving the productivity of medium-chain fatty acids or lipids containing these fatty acids as components produced in a cell of a transformant, or the total amount of all fatty acids produced in a cell of a transformant:(A) a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and(B) a protein consisting of an amino acid sequence having 64% or more identity with the amino acid sequence of the protein (A), and having glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity.
