1 A marked effect on the unsaturation of 16:1 and 18:1 was observed when S. cerevisiae harboring the FAD2 gene was cultured at 8 degrees C. To assess the ethanol tolerance of S. cerevisiae producing polyunsaturated fatty acids, the cell viability of this strain in the presence of ethanol was examined. Ethanol fatty acid desaturase 2 Arabidopsis thaliana

3 The results indicated that S. cerevisiae cells overexpressing the FAD2 gene had greater resistance to 15% (vol/vol) ethanol than did the control cells. Ethanol fatty acid desaturase 2 Arabidopsis thaliana
