Patent number: 11952581Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BASF PLANT SCIENCE GMBHInventors: Thorsten Zank, Jörg Bauer, Petra Cirpus, Amine Abbadi, Ernst Heinz, Xiao Qiu, Patricia Vrinten, Petra Sperling, Frederic Domergue, Astrid Schmidt, Helene Kirsch
