摘要 |
The invention relates to an improved method for producing unsaturated fatty acids and to a method for producing triglycerides with an increased unsaturated fatty acid content. The invention also relates to the production of a transgenic organism, preferably a transgenic plant or a transgenic micro-organism, containing increased quantities of unsaturated fatty acids, oils or lipids with DELTA 6-double bonds as a result of the expression of a DELTA -6-desaturase, from moss. The invention also relates to transgenic organisms containing a DELTA 6-desaturase gene, and to the use of the unsaturated fatty acids or triglycerides with an increased unsaturated fatty acid content produced in the method. |
