An isolated novel oil globule protein encoded by a polynucleotide sequence is provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein. A transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding a protein which at least partially comprises the amino acid sequence of the novel oil globule protein is also provided. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of a carotenoid such as astaxanthin, which is an oil globule constituent.

Oil globule protein and uses thereof

An isolated protein which is at least partially encoded by a polynucleotide sequence encoding a novel acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1-like gene (PtDGAT1) from the diatomis provided together with a composition which includes the isolated protein and a transgenic organism transformed by a polynucleotide encoding same. The invention also provides a method for producing or enhancing the production of oil or triacylglycerols with high saturated fatty acids content.

[object Object]

The present invention provides a protein, specifically Parietochloris incisa acetohydroxyacid synthase, and methods for producing branched-chain amino acid in a cell. The present invention further provides polypeptides and polynucleotides useful for conferring herbicide resistance in a cell or an organism. In particular, the present invention discloses a mutated acetohydroxyacid synthase which is resistant to herbicides.

Compositions and methods for conferring herbicide resistance

The present invention is primarily directed to a mutant strain of, characterized in comprising a substantially reduced intracellular concentration of arachidonic acid (AA) together with a substantially increased intracellular concentration of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid 20:3&#x3c9;6 (DGLA).

The invention provides a biocontrol agent against larvae of mosquitoes and blackflies comprising transgenic Anabaena PCC 7120 carrying a synergistic combination of the endotoxin genes CryIVA and CryIVD of subsp.
