1. A process for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids in an organism comprising(a) introducing, into the organism, at least one nucleic acid comprising the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:

  • 16 which codes for a polypeptide with lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase activity;

    or(b) introducing, into the organism, at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid sequence having at least 95% identity with the sequence of SEQ ID NO;

    16, wherein the nucleic acid codes for a polypeptide with lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase activity, or(c) introducing, into the organism, at least one nucleic acid which codes for a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO;

    17 or comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% identity with SEQ ID NO;

    17 and has lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase activity, and(d) culturing and harvesting the organismwherein the organism is a microorganism, yeast, or a plant.
