CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID ISOMERASE AND A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of conjugated linoleic acid and a process for the production of triglycerides with an increased content of conjugated linoleic acid. Moreover, the invention relat es to a nucleic acid sequence; a nucleic acid construct, a vector and transgeni c organisms comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence or one nucleic acid construct which encodes a polypeptide with conjugated linoleic isomerase activity. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a microorganism o f the genus Bifidobacterium as a probiotic.
