Figure 1.
Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of pBdes6 (labeled bodes6) with other desaturases. The entire coding sequence of pBdes6 was compared with the Arabidopsis FAD2 (atfad2) and FAD3 (atfad3) microsomal desaturases, as well as the cyanobacterial Δ6 desaturase (syndes6). Identical or conserved residues are boxed, and the conserved histidine boxes are underlined. The sequence of pBdes6 has been deposited in the GenBank database (accession no. U79010U79010).
