Abstract
Disclosed herein are host cells expressing a polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide hydrolyzes an ester linkage of a triacylglycerol in an oil comprising at least one long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, methods for using such host cells, and processes for production of a lipase using such host cells.
Claims9
A method of obtaining at least one long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) from a triacylglycerol in an oil that comprises the at least one LC-PUFA, wherein said LC-PUFA comprises eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaneoic acid (DHA), or combinations thereof;
- the method comprising:
- hydrolyzing at least one ester linkage in said triacylglycerol with a lipase, wherein said lipase has at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, or SEQ ID NO:3.
