Abstract
The fatty acid Î4, Î5 and Î8-desaturase genes were cloned from marine microalga Pavlova salina, and the encoded enzymes produced omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in yeast cells and/or transgenic seeds, respectively, with appropriate substrates.
