• Metabolic engineering toward enhanced LC-PUFA biosynthesis in Nannochloropsis oceanica: Overexpression of endogenous Δ12 desaturase driven by stress-inducible promoter leads to enhanced deposition of polyunsaturated fatty acids in TAG (2015, background): “Numerous Δ12-desaturase genes have been characterized from higher plants [46–49], animals [50], insects [51], and fungi [52], and from several microalgae and microalgae-like organisms [53–57].”
• A palmitoyl-CoA-specific Δ9 fatty acid desaturase from Caenorhabditis elegans. (2000, background): “These include the D12 desaturase ( 23 ), the v3 desaturase (24), the D5 desaturase (25, 26), and the D6 desaturase (27).”
