FATTY ACID SYNTHETASE, POLYNUCLEOTIDE CODING IT AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: what is described is fatty acid synthetase of a sequence presented in the description. What is specified is a polynucleotide coding such synthetase. What is presented is a vector containing such polynucleotide. Besides, what is also described is a transformed microbial organism containing such vector or polynucleotide. The transformed microbial organism is used to produce fatty acids. What is offered is a method for producing a lipid or a fatty acid that involves transformant cell culture followed by recovering the lipid or the fatty acid from such cells. What is described is a method for assessment of ability to form fatty acids based on the measurement of an expression level of fatty acid synthetase having a nucleotide sequence of specified polynucleotide. Also, there is presented a method for selection of microbial lipid-producing organisms that is based on the comparison of the expression levels of specified gene in a reference and tested microbial organism.;EFFECT: invention provides producing high-yield fatty acids.;17 cl, 1 dwg, 2 tbl, 1 ex
