PRODUCTION OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS (PUFAS) USING A NOVEL MODULAR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA) SYNTHASE

摘要

This disclosure concerns a novel modular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthase and recombinant host organisms genetically modified with such synthase and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The disclosure also concerns methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.
