  • Production of fatty acids by heterologous expression of gene clusters from myxobacteria
    Patent number: 9574215
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids by means of heterologous gene expression comprising the steps of providing a production organism which comprises a heterologous gene cluster encoding a polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic pathway encompassing a subsequence ER encoding an enoylreductase and a subsequence AT encoding an acyltransferase, growing the production organism in the presence of a fermentable carbon source whereby one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids are produced, and optionally recovering the one or more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: Universitat des Saarlandes
    Inventors: Silke Wenzel, Shwan Rachid, Katja Gemperlein, Rolf Mueller
