1. An isolated nucleic acid that encodes a polypeptide with a desaturase activity, wherein said nucleic acid contains a sequence selected from the group consisting of:

  • the sequence of SEQ ID NO;

    2;

    the sequence of SEQ ID NO;

    7;

    a sequence derived from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO;

    3 or SEQ ID NO;

    8 by back translation of the respective amino acid sequences, owing to the degeneracy of the genetic code; and

    a derivative of the sequence of SEQ ID NO;

    2 or SEQ ID NO;

    7 wherein said derivative encodes a peptide that has at least 75 % identity at the amino acid level to said polypeptide, wherein the desaturase activity of the peptide is not substantially reduced as compared with the desaturase activity of said polypeptide.
