Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism by introducing, into the organism, nucleic acids which encode polypeptides with ?5-elongase activity. Advantageously, these nucleic acids can be expressed in the organism together with further nucleic acids which encode polypeptides of the biosynthesis of the fatty acid or lipid metabolism. Especially advantageous are nucleic acids which encode ?6-desaturases, ?5-desaturases, ?4-desaturases and/or ?6-elongases. These desaturases and elongases are advantageously derived from Thalassiosira, Euglena or Ostreococcus. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the production of oils and/or triacylglycerides with an elevated content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, and oils and/or triacylglycerides thus obtained.

Abstract: Various shaped abrasive particles are disclosed. Each shaped abrasive particle includes a body having at least one major surface and a side surface extending from the major surface.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for producing a viscose solution including a step of adding alkyl polyglycoside (APG) prior to and/or during xanthation of alkali cellulose. When APG is added prior to or during xanthation of alkali cellulose, the reactivity between alkali cellulose and CS2 could be increased and the xanthation could be accelerated, as a result of which formation of agglomerates and/or lumps in the obtained viscose solution and then the obtained viscose fiber spun therefrom is significantly reduced, relative to the situation when conventional surfactants such as phenyl ethoxylate are added likewise. Also described herein is a viscose solution obtained by the foresaid method, and a method for producing viscose fiber with the foresaid viscose solution or including the foresaid method.
