  • Methods of making triacylglycerol using phospholipid:Diacylglycerol acyltransferase
    Patent number: 7427593
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of triacylglycerol in a transformed organism or host cell, by means of a nucleotide sequence from S. cerevisiae, whereby said enzyme catalyzes the transfer of fatty acids from phospholipids to diacylglycerol in any acyl-CoA-independent reaction. The transformation of the organism or host cell results in increased oil content.
