BgElo9 encodes ∆-9 elongase from Blattella germanica which functions in the Δ-9 elongase/desaturase pathway and could convert C18:2 to C20:2.
Characterization
heterologous expression of BgElo9 could enable engineered Y. lipolytica to produce C20:2 fatty acids that couldn’t be produced in wild-type Y. lipolytica.
Literature
Some studies have employed C16/18 elongase from Blattella germanica to produce high yield omega-3 fatty acids.
