    Description

    This part encodes a Δ6 desaturase derived from Synechocystis sp PCC 6803. The enzyme is a membrane-bound protein able to introduce a double bond at the Δ-12 site in the hydrocarbon chain of oleic acid (18:1, Δ9). This converts the substrate into linoleic acid (18:2 Δ9,12), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Mass spectrometry results show that feeding oleic acid to transformed E. coli, the bacterial membrane composition changes. Linoleic acid is observed.
