DELTA-5 DESATURASE FROM PERIDINIUM SP. AND ITS USE IN MAKING POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS

摘要

Isolated nucleic acid fragments and recombinant constructs comprising such fragments encoding delta-5 desaturase along with a method of making long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) using this delta-5 desaturase in plants and oleaginous yeast are disclosed.
