Application Comment Organism
synthesis expression of a fusion protein between Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus wax synthase and Marinobacter adhaerens fatty acyl-CoA reductase in Nicotiana benthaminana. Compared to wild-type controls, transgenic plants show both in leaves and stems a significant increase in the total level of wax esters, being eight-fold at the whole plant level. The profiles of fatty acid methyl ester and fatty alcohol in wax esters are related, and C16 and C18 molecules constitute predominant forms. Strong transformants display certain developmental aberrations, such as stunted growth and chlorotic leaves and stems. These negative effects are associated with an accumulation of fatty alcohols Marinobacter nauticus
