Vegetable fats and oils (triacylglycerols) are an important source of human nutrition. They can account for a substantial proportion of the calories in the human diet. The nutritional properties of these fats and oils depend on the types of fatty acids that are attached at each of the three positions on their glycerol backbone. It has long been a goal of biotechnologists to adapt organisms to make 'designer' oils that are tailored for specific applications. The aim of this work is to develop a new production platform that produces a speciality oil for human nutrition.

植物脂肪和油（三酰甘油）是人类营养的重要来源。它们占人类饮食中卡路里的很大一部分。这些脂肪和油的营养特性取决于连接在其甘油主链上三个位置上的脂肪酸的类型。长期以来，生物技术学家的目标是改造生物体来制造针对特定应用量身定制的“设计”油。这项工作的目的是开发一个新的生产平台，生产用于人类营养的特种油。
