摘要:
Disclosed is a transformation method whereby an ability to produce a useful substance of a stramenopile can be improved. The method for transforming a stramenopile comprises transferring a foreign gene into the stramenopile which is a microorganism belonging to the class Labyrinthula, more specifically, to a genus Labyrinthula, Altornia, Aplanochytrium, Schizochytrium, Aurantiochytrium, Thraustochytrium, Ulkenia, etc. Said foreign gene, which is a gene relating to tolerance against an antibiotic, a colorimetric protein and/or a fatty acid desaturase (Δ5 desaturase gene, Δ12 desaturase gene and/or ω3 desaturase gene), is transferred by using the electroporation or gene-gun technique.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining the fatty acid synthesis pathway of a microorganism. Specifically disclosed is a method for determining the fatty acid synthesis pathway of a microorganism, which is characterized by producing degenerate primers for a fatty acid synthesis-related enzyme gene and determining the presence or absence of the fatty acid synthesis-related gene in the genome gene extracted from the microorganism using the degenerate primers. The sequences for degenerate primers for C20-elongase gene, which is a fatty acid synthesis-related enzyme gene, are ATHGARTWYTKBRTITTYGTICA (SEQ ID NO:1) and TARTRISWRTACATIADIAMRTG (SEQ ID NO:2), and the sequences for degenerate primers for ?4-desaturase gene are GGNCAYCAYCMITAYACNAA (SEQ ID NO:3) and TCDATYTGRTGIBWIARNCC (SEQ ID NO:4). The microorganism is one belonging to the class Labyrinthulea. Also specifically disclosed is a PCR primer set for use in the determination method. The method is useful as a method for screening a microorganism capable of synthesizing a fatty acid.
