Some aspects of this invention provide engineered microbes for oil production. Methods for microbe engineering and for use of engineered microbes are also provided herein. In some embodiments, microbes are provided that are engineered to modulate a combination of rate-controlling steps of lipid synthesis, for example, a combination of a step generating metabolites, acetyl-CoA, ATP or NADPH for lipid synthesis (a push step), and a step sequestering a product or an intermediate of a lipid synthesis pathway that mediates feedback inhibition of lipid synthesis (a pull step). Such push-and-pull engineered microbes exhibit greatly enhanced conversion yields and TAG synthesis and storage properties. |

The present invention provides methods of marker assisted selection for high oleic/low linolenic traits in canola and in other oil seed crop species, as well as isolated nucleic acids for use as molecular markers in such methods. In particular, molecular markers and Brassica nucleic acid corresponding to fad2 and fad3 gene mutations are disclosed. The markers of the present invention are highly useful for the direct selection of desirable fad2 and fad3 alleles during marker-assisted trait introgression and breeding. In a one aspect of the embodiment, two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are provided which correspond to the alleles.Thus, the present invention advantageously permits one of skill in the art to breed for the molecular markers described herein, or derivatives thereof, rather than breeding for a high oleic/low linolenic phenotype. | ||||||

The subject invention provides "no sat" canola oil. The subject invention also provides seeds that can be used to produce such oils. Plants that produce these seeds are also included within the subject invention. All of this was surprisingly achieved by using a delta-9 desaturase gene in canola. This technology can be applied to other plants as disclosed herein. Oils of the subject invention have particularly advantageous characteristics and fatty acid profiles, which were not heretofore attained. The subject invention still further provides a plant-optimized delta-9 desaturase gene. The subject invention still further provides a plant-optimized delta-9 desaturase gene. In some preferred embodiments, a preferred plant comprises at least two copies of a delta-9 desaturase gene of the subject invention. Seeds produced by such plants surprisingly do not exhibit effects of gene silencing but rather have further surprising reductions in levels of total saturates. | ||||||

120 | DELTA 9-DESATURASE GENE | EP98905692 | 1998-02-27 | EP0978563A4 | 2002-04-10 | SHIMIZU SAKAYU; KOBAYASHI MICHIHIKO |
Genome DNA and cDNA encoding Δ9-desaturase derived from a microorganism belonging to Mortierella s.p. mortierella, an expression vector and a transformant for expressing the same, and a process for preparing Δ9-desaturase using a gene encoding the enzyme. Introduction of the Δ9-desaturase gene into cells capable of producing an unsaturated fatty acid can enhance the conversion to palmitoleic acid and oleic acid as starting compounds of unsaturated fatty acids, resulting in improved productivity of the unsaturated fatty acids. When a cytochrome b5 gene or a cytochrome b5 reductase gene, i.e., a constituent of a microsomal electron transport system, is combined with the Δ9-desaturase, more efficient production can be expected. Further, the Δ9-desaturase can be efficiently produced by a recombinant DNA method. |
