MODIFIED DIACYLGLYCEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE PROTEINS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

Provided are fusion proteins of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) polypeptides fused to at least one heterologous intracellular localization domain, such as a bacterial membrane-targeting domain, modified photosynthetic microorganism that comprise such fusion proteins, and related methods for improving the production of lipids by photosynthetic microorganisms, including lipids such as triglycerides, fatty acids, and wax esters.
