| 20080274522 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 2-BUTANONE - A method for the production of 2-butanone by fermentation using a microbial production host is disclosed. The method employs a reduction in temperature during the fermentation process that results in a more robust tolerance of the production host to the butanone product. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080274524 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 1-BUTANOL - A method for the production of 1-butanol by fermentation using a microbial production host is disclosed. The method employs a reduction in temperature during the fermentation process that results in a more robust tolerance of the production host to the butanol product. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080274525 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 2-BUTANOL - A method for the production of 2-butanol by fermentation using a microbial production host is disclosed. The method employs a reduction in temperature during the fermentation process that results in a more robust tolerance of the production host to the butanol product. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080274526 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ISOBUTANOL - A method for the production of isobutanol by fermentation using a microbial production host is disclosed. The method employs a reduction in temperature during the fermentation process that results in a more robust tolerance of the production host to the butanol product. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090203097 | STRAIN FOR BUTANOL PRODUCTION - Screening of fatty acid fed bacteria which are not natural butanol producers identified increased membrane cyclopropane fatty acid as providing improved butanol tolerance. Increasing expression of cyclopropane fatty acid synthase in the presence of the enzyme substrate that is either endogenous to the cell or fed to the cell, increased butanol tolerance. Bacterial strains with increased cyclopropane fatty acid synthase and having a butanol biosynthetic pathway are useful for production of butanol. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100022018 | RAPID DETECTION OF SULFHYDRYL COMPOUNDS USING A PAPAIN BASED ASSAY - The invention relates to a method for detecting compounds containing a free sulfhydryl group in a sample and a test device which is used to detect such compounds. The method and test device use a papain-based assay where the papain is initially complexed with a metal ion making it inactive. Sulfydryl compounds in a sample activate the papain. Enzymatic activity of papain on a papain substrate releases a dye producing a detectable signal. The test device may be used in detecting compounds containing a free sulfhydryl group in industrial, environmental, experimental and biological samples. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100081154 | IDENTIFICATION AND USE OF BACTERIAL [2Fe-2S] DIHYDROXY-ACID DEHYDRATASES - A group of bacterial dihydroxy-acid dehydratases having a [2Fe-2S] cluster was discovered. Bacterial [2Fe-2S] DHADs were expressed as heterologous proteins in bacteria and yeast cells, providing DHAD activity for conversion of 2,3-dihydroxyisovalerate to α-ketoisovalerate or 2,3-dihydroxymethylvalerate to α-ketomethylvalerate. Isobutanol and other compounds may be synthesized in pathways that include bacterial [2Fe-2S] DHAD activity. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100136641 | STRAIN FOR BUTANOL PRODUCTION WITH INCREASED MEMBRANE UNSATURATED TRANS FATTY ACIDS - Bacteria that are not natural butanol producers were found to have increased tolerance to butanol when the membrane content of unsaturated trans fatty acids was increased. Feeding cells with unsaturated trans fatty acids increased their concentration in the membrane, which may also be accomplished by expressing a fatty acid cistrans isomerase. | 06-03-2010 |
| 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 |
