CA 2526935

The present invention relates to methods for the production of .omega.-3 and/or .omega.-6 fatty acids in oleaginous yeast. Thus, desaturases and elongases able to catalyze the conversion of linoleic acid (LA) to .gamma.- linolenic acid (GLA); .alpha.-linoleic acid (ALA) to stearidonic acid (STA); GLA to dihomo-.gamma.- linoleic acid (DGLA); STA to eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA); DGLA to arachidonic acid (ARA); ETA to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA); DGLA to ETA; EPA to docosapentaenoic acid (DPA); and ARA to EPA have been introduced into the genome of Yarrowia for synthesis of ARA and EPA.

La présente invention concerne des procédés de production d'acides gras ?-3 et/ou ?-6 dans une levure oléagineuse. Ainsi, des désaturases et des élongases pouvant catalyser la conversion de l'acide linoléique (LA) en acide ?-linolénique (GLA) ; l'acide a-linoléique (ALA) en acide stéaridonique (STA) ; le GLA en acide dihomo-?- linoléique (DGLA) ; le STA en acide éicosatétraénoïque (ETA) ; le DGLA en acide arachidonique (ARA) ; l'ETA en acide éicosapentaénoïque (EPA) ; le DGLA en ETA ; l'EPA en acide docosapentaénoïque (DPA) ; et l'ARA en EPA ont été introduites dans le génome de la Yarrowia afin de synthétiser l'ARA et l'EPA.
