| Research Abstract |
Oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina 1S-4 produces various polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid. The researcher worked on development of homologous recombination in this strain, functional analysis of enzyme genes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFA production through molecular breeding, elucidation of sterol biosynthetic pathways, and study on sub-terminal oxidation mechanism of n-alkanes. The results are considered not only to be directly connected with the field of microbial lipid production but also to be important to elucidate the mechanism of microbial lipid metabolism.
