PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lipid producing method which can produce efficiently lipids highly containing medium chain fatty acids.SOLUTION: A lipid producing method comprises following steps of (1) and (2): (1) a step of culturing Gymnodinium algae of Dinophyceae, particularly algae of Symbiodinium microadriaticum in a medium containing glycerol under light irradiation to obtain a culture; and (2) a step of collecting the lipids containing 15 or more mass% of medium chain fatty acids relative to all the constituent fatty acids in oil and fats from the obtained culture.
摘要:
Methods and systems for purifying bio-organic compounds are described. In certain embodiments, the methods comprise the steps of (a) providing a composition or an emulsion comprising a surfactant, host cells, an aqueous medium and a bio-organic compound produced by the host cells, wherein the solubility of the surfactant in the aqueous medium decreases with increasing temperature and wherein the temperature of the composition or emulsion is at least about 1° C. below a phase inversion temperature of the composition or emulsion; (b) raising the temperature of the composition or emulsion to at least about 1° C. above the phase inversion temperature; and (c) performing a liquid/liquid separation of the composition to provide a crude bio-organic composition or emulsion.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for controlling plant pests, particularly weeds and/or plant phytopathogens using sarmentine and/or analogs thereof are disclosed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition and method of use related to β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase. SOLUTION: The targets of special interest are synthases obtainable from Cuphea species. Amino acid and nucleic acid for synthase protein factors are provided, as well as methods to utilize such sequences in constructs for production of genetically engineered plants having altered fatty acid compositions. Of particular interest is the expression of synthase protein factors in conjunction with expression of plant medium-chain acyl-ACP thioesterases for production of increased levels and/or modified ratios of medium-chain fatty acids in oils of transgenic plant seeds.
