Abstract

Expression of a plant Δ⁶-palmitoyl (16:0)-acyl carrier protein desaturase in Escherichia coli resulted in the accumulation of the novel monounsaturated fatty acids Δ⁶-hexadecenoic acid (16:1Δ⁶) and Δ⁸- octadecenoic acid. Amounts of 16:1Δ⁶ accumulated by E. coli were increased more than twofold by the expression of a plant ferredoxin together with the Δ⁶-16:0-acyl carrier protein desaturase.
