| 20090155870 | FERMENTIVE PRODUCTION OF FOUR CARBON ALCOHOLS - Methods for the fermentive production of four carbon alcohols are provided. Specifically, butanol, preferably 2-butanol is produced by the fermentive growth of a recombinant bacteria expressing a 2-butanol biosynthetic pathway. The recombinant microorganisms and methods of the invention can also be adapted to produce 2-butanone, an intermediate in the 2-butanol biosynthetic pathways disclosed herein. Specifically disclosed herein are the use of coenzyme B | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090239275 | FERMENTIVE PRODUCTION OF FOUR CARBON ALCOHOLS - Methods for the fermentive production of four carbon alcohols are provided. Specifically, butanol, preferably 2-butanol is produced by the fermentive growth of a recombinant bacteria expressing a 2-butanol biosynthetic pathway. The recombinant microorganisms and methods of the invention can also be adapted to produce 2-butanone, an intermediate in the 2-butanol biosynthetic pathways disclosed herein. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090269823 | BUTANOL DEHYDROGENASE ENZYME FROM THE BACTERIUM ACHROMOBACTER XYLOSOXIDANS - From a bacterial strain isolated from an environmental sample, after enrichment in medium containing 1-butanol as the carbon source, a new enzyme with butanol dehydrogenase activity was identified. The enzyme can convert butyraldehyde to 1-butanol, isobutyraldehyde to isobutanol, as well as 2-butanone to 2-butanol and thus is useful for biosynthesis of butanol in recombinant microbial hosts producing these substrates. The encoding gene, named sadB, was isolated from the strain identified as an isolate of | 10-29-2009 |
| 20110111472 | FERMENTIVE PRODUCTION OF FOUR CARBON ALCOHOLS - Methods for the fermentative production of four carbon alcohols is provided. Specifically, butanol, preferably isobutanol is produced by the fermentative growth of a recombinant bacterium expressing an isobutanol biosynthetic pathway. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110112334 | FERMENTIVE PRODUCTION OF FOUR CARBON ALCOHOLS - Methods for the fermentative production of four carbon alcohols is provided. Specifically, butanol, preferably isobutanol is produced by the fermentative growth of a recombinant bacterium expressing an isobutanol biosynthetic pathway. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110136190 | RECOMBINANT BACTERIA FOR PRODUCING GLYCEROL AND GLYCEROL-DERIVED PRODUCTS FROM SUCROSE - Recombinant bacteria capable of producing glycerol and glycerol-derived products from sucrose are described. The recombinant bacteria comprise in their genome or on at least one recombinant construct: a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose transporter activity; a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having fructokinase activity; and a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose hydrolase activity. These nucleotide sequences are each operably linked to the same or a different promoter. These recombinant bacteria are capable of metabolizing sucrose to produce glycerol and/or glycerol-derived products such as 1,3-propanediol and 3-hydroxypropionic acid. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110144377 | PROCESS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTION OF 3-HYDROXYPROPIONIC ACID WITH HIGH YIELD - The present invention provides a microorganism useful for biologically producing 3-hydroxypropionic acid from a fermentable carbon source. Further, the microorganism comprises disruptions in specified genes and alterations in the expression levels of specified genes that are useful in a higher yielding process to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid, compositions comprising renewably sourced 3-hydroxypropionic acid provided by said microorganism, and industrial relevant products made using such renewably sourced 3-hydroxypropionic acid. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110256598 | CO-METABOLISM OF FRUCTOSE AND GLUCOSE IN MICROBIAL PRODUCTION STRAINS - Recombinant microorganisms having an improved ability to co-metabolize in medium both fructose and glucose are described. The recombinant microorganisms comprise a promoter operably linked to a native or non-native nucleotide sequence that encodes a fucose:H+ symporter polypeptide. The recombinant microorganisms are useful for the production of a variety of products including glycerol and glycerol derivatives such as 1,3-propanediol and 3-hydroxypropionic acid. | 10-20-2011 |
