Prototheca moriformis modified for the synthesis of biofuel
ES
Strain S2014
No
The modified Prototheca moriformis line S2014 resulted from a genetic modification of a non-GM lineage by inserting two genes: the sucrose invertase (SUC2) of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and gene FATB2 that codes for a thioesterase, derived from the herbal plant Cuphea wrightii.
ES
The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
