Abstract:
1. A transformed microbial host cell comprising an isolated polynucleotide comprising: (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having Δ9 elongase activity, wherein the polypeptide has at least 90% amino acid identity based on the Clustal V method of alignment, when compared to the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 13 or SEQ ID No. 14; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having Δ9 elongase activity, wherein the nucleotide sequence has at least 90% sequence identity, based on the BLASTN method of alignment, when compared to the nucleotide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 11, SEQ ID No. 12, or SEQ ID No. 26; or (c) a complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a) or (b), wherein the complement and the nucleotide sequence consist of the same number of nucleotides and are 100% complementary.
