COSKATA, INC. Patent applications
20120003652	Essential genes encoding conserved metabolic pathway function in autotrophic solventogenic clostridial species - Essential genes coding for the metabolic pathway of solventogenic autotrophic Clostridia were sequenced, and functionality was confirmed. The present invention utilizes a comparative inter-species approach to develop the minimum set of essential genes for metabolic function and estimate productivity in species of suspected solventogenic capability.	01-05-2012
20110229947	Novel Ethanologenic Clostridium species, Clostridium coskatii - A novel clostridia bacterial species (	09-22-2011
20110008860	Genes encoding key catalyzing mechanisms for ethanol production from syngas fermentation - Gene sequences of key acetogenic clostridial species were sequenced and isolated. Genes of interest were identified, and functionality was established. Key genes of interest for metabolic catalyzing activity in clostridial species include a three-gene operon coding for CODH activity, a two-gene operon coding for PTA-ACK, and a novel acetyl coenzyme A reductase. The promoter regions of the two operons and the acetyl coA reductase are manipulated to increase ethanol production.	01-13-2011
