    摘要: The present invention relates to a newly-identified lipase enzyme isolated from a member of the
    Ustilaginaceae family of the
    Basidomycetes , and to polypeptide variants thereof, that exhibit increased
    trans -selectivity, and/or increased preference for catalysis of long-chain fatty acid esters or carboxylic acid moieties having chain lengths greater than twelve carbons (C
    12 ). The invention also provides polynucleotides and nucleic acid sequence that encode one or more lipases and/or variants thereof, and to recombinant expression vectors, and host cells that comprise them. The invention also provides methods for producing the lipase, and variants thereof both
    in vivo , and recombinantly
    in
    vitro , including large-scale commercial processes suitable for use in the food and cosmetics industries. Methods are also provided for altering, reducing, and/or eliminating one or more trans-fatty acids from cooking oils, including frying oils, and related products.
