PUFA-PKS genes from Ulkenia

摘要

The invention relates to genes which are coded for sequences specific to polyketide synthases (PKS). The thus synthesized PKS is characterized by the enzymatic capacity thereof to produce PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids). The invention also relates to the identification of the corresponding DNA-sequences, in addition to the use of said nucleotide sequences for the production of recombined and/or transgenic organisms.
