РЕКОМБИНАНТНОЕ ПОЛУЧЕНИЕ ДОКОЗАГЕКСАЕНОВОЙ КИСЛОТЫ (ДГК) В ДРОЖЖАХ

摘要

The present invention relates to a specifically novel recombinant method of production of the omega-3 fatty acid, Docosahexaenoic acid by a potentially safe recombinant organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The invention describes the process of bioconversion of oleic acid to docosahexaenoic acid through a series of enzymatic conversions facilitated through the cloning of the respective genes into appropriate vectors and the final expression of the DHA in the host cell, Yeast.
