Abstract
The present invention provides novel diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) genes comprising Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domains. The present invention also provides for recombinant cells, such as algae, transformed with acyltransferase genes, such as DGAT, comprising PH domains, and methods of using such recombinant cells to produce increased triglyceride levels.
