Abstract
A DNA fragment containing a gene encoding a fatty acid desaturase enzyme is isolated. The gene is then employed by introducing it into other cells to alter or enhance the production of oils in such cells, alternatively the gene or nucleic acid sequences of the gene can be employed to isolate other genes encoding for related, but different desaturase enzymes.
