Patent

CA 2477858

The invention relates to processes for the production of unsaturated fatty acids, preferably of conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), by the recombinant expression of desaturases from insects of the order Lepidoptera. Expression preferably takes place in an organism selected from the group of the plant organisms, yeasts, fungi and algae. Also according to the invention are recombinant expression cassettes for the recombinant expression of desaturases from insects of the order Lepidoptera, and the transgenic organisms transformed with these.

Cette invention concerne des méthodes de production d'acides gras insaturés, de préférence des acides gras polyinsaturés conjugués, tels que l'acide linoléique conjugué (CLA), par expression recombinante de désaturases provenant d'insectes de l'ordre des lépidoptères. Cette expression intervient, de préférence, dans un organisme choisi parmi des organismes végétaux, des levures, des champignons ou des algues. L'invention concerne également des cassettes d'expression recombinante servant à l'expression recombinante de désaturases provenant d'insectes de l'ordre des lépidoptères. Elle concerne en outre les organismes transgéniques transformés à l'aide de ces cassettes.
