EUGLENA, METHOD FOR PRODUCING WAX ESTER, AND WAX ESTER COMPOSITION

摘要

To provide a method for producing euglena containing wax ester having an expanded or shortened chain length, and wax ester.SOLUTION: There are provided euglena in which expression of an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACD) gene is suppressed, and a method for producing wax ester in which a culture process of culturing ACD knockdown euglena in which expression of an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACD) gene, and an extraction process of extracting wax ester from the ACD knockdown euglena are performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
