Title:
MICROORGANISMS FOR FATTY ACID PRODUCTION USING ELONGASE AND DESATURASE ENZYMES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/145378
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
Recombinant microorganisms engineered for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are provided. Also provided are biomass, microbial oils, and food products and ingredients produced by or comprising the microorganisms of the invention. The present invention provides recombinant microorganisms engineered for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The microorganisms can comprise one or more heterologous enzymes, for example at least one heterologous elongase and/or at least one heterologous desaturase. In some embodiments the product of at least one heterologous enzyme is the substrate of another heterologous enzyme and therefore an exognenous pathway is engineered into the microorganism for producing one or more PUFAs.
