  • Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene () and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9410132
    Abstract: An isolated protein which is at least partially encoded by a polynucleotide sequence encoding a novel acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricomutum is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein and a transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding same. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of oil or triacylglycerols with high saturated fatty acids content.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
