1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gene manipulation tools for an arachidonic-producing filamentous fungus, Mortierella alpina 1S-4, have not been sufficiently developed. In this study, Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) was investigated for M. alpina 1S-4 transformation, using the uracil-auxotrophic mutant (ura5(-) strain) of M. alpina 1S-4 as a host strain and the homologous ura5 gene as a selectable marker gene. Furthermore, the gene for omega3-desaturase, catalyzing the conversion of n-6 fatty acid to n-3 fatty acid, was overexpressed in M. alpina 1S-4 by employing the ATMT system. As a result, we revealed that the frequency of transformation surpassed 400 transformants/10(8) spores, most of the integrated T-DNA appeared as a single copy at a random position in chromosomal DNA, and most of the transformants (60 to 80%) showed mitotic stability. Moreover, the accumulation of n-3 fatty acid in transformants was observed under the conditions of optimal omega3-desaturase gene expression. In particular, eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3), an end product of n-3 fatty acids synthesized in M. alpina 1S-4, reached a maximum of 40% of total fatty acids. In conclusion, the ATMT system was found to be effective and suitable for the industrial strain Mortierella alpina 1S-4 and will be a useful tool for basic mutagenesis research and for industrial breeding of this strain.
