The enzyme A6-desaturase is responsible for the conversion of linoleic acid (18:2) to 7-1inolenic acid (18:37). A cyanobacterial gene encoding A6-desaturase was cloned by expression of a Synechocystis genomic cosmid library in Anabaena, a cyanobacterium lacking A6-desaturase. Expression of the Synec
