Transformant comprising gene coding for ws/dgat and method of producing fatty acid ethyl esters using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a transformant comprising a gene encoding ws/dgat (wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase) and a method of producing fatty acid ethyl esters using the same. Specifically, the transformant for producing fatty acid ethyl esters is constructed such that glycerol is used as a fermentation substrate, and comprises an atfA gene encoding ws/dgat (wax ester synthase/acyl-coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase) from Acinetobacter sp., so that the atfA gene is expressed in the transformant.
