Abstract excerpt

The results of our previous study on heterologous expression in Escherichia coli of the gene desD, which encodes Spirulina Delta(6) desaturase, showed that co-expression with an immediate electron donor-either cytochrome b ( 5 ) or ferredoxin-was required for the production of GLA (gamma-linoleni...
