| 20090075347 | Production of Bacterial Strains Cross Reference To Related Applications - The present invention provides methods to enhance production of desired products and increase the growth rate of a bacterial strain by inactivating an endogenous arcA and optionally overexpressing a ppc gene. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090156430 | PROMOTER AND PLASMID SYSTEM FOR GENETIC ENGINEERING - This invention provides a series of low-copy number plasmids comprising restriction endonuclease recognition sites useful for cloning at least three different genes or operons, each flanked by a terminator sequence, the plasmids containing variants of glucose isomerase promoters for varying levels of protein expression. The materials and methods are useful for genetic engineering in microorganisms, especially where multiple genetic insertions are sought. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100323413 | Production of Oil in Microorganisms - The invention provides methods of manufacturing oils and oil-based products such as transportation fuels, industrial chemicals, edible oils, lubricants and plastics using sucrose feedstocks from sugar cane, sugar beets, and molasses for bioproduction processes. The disclosed processes utilize oleaginous microbes as a conversion technology to convert chemical energy produced by sugar cane, molasses and sugar beets into energy-containing oils and oil derivatives. Also provided herein are oleaginous microbes containing one or more exogenous sucrose utilization genes. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100323414 | Production of Oil in Microorganisms - The invention provides methods of producing lipids by oleaginous microorganisms. The invention also provides genetically engineered oleaginous microorganisms and methods of cultivation for lipid production. Also provided are oils, fuels, oleochemicals, chemical precursors, and other compounds manufactured such microorganisms. Exemplary oleaginous microorganisms include oleaginous fungi and such oleaginous fungi that have been genetically modified. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110014665 | Production of Oil in Microorganisms - The invention provides methods of cultivating oil-bearing microbes using cellulosic material. Also provided are microorganisms containing one or more exogenous genes that facilitate the use of cellulosic materials as a feedstock. Also provided are microorganisms and methods for manufacturing non-alcohol-based fuels and fuel feedstocks through a process of converting cellulosic materials into oils. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110015417 | Production of Oil in Microorganisms - The invention provides methods of cultivating oil-bearing microbes using xylose alone or in combination with other depolymerized cellulosic material. Also provided are microorganisms comprising an exogenous gene encoding a polysaccharide degrading enzyme, such as a cellulase, a hemicellulase, a pectinase, or a driselase. Some methods of microbial fermentation are provided that comprise the use of xylose and depolymerized cellulosic materials for the production of oil-bearing microorgansims. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110046014 | PROMOTER AND PLASMID SYSTEM FOR GENETIC ENGINEERING - This invention provides a series of low-copy number plasmids comprising restriction endonuclease recognition sites useful for cloning at least three different genes or operons, each flanked by a terminator sequence, the plasmids containing variants of glucose isomerase promoters for varying levels of protein expression. The materials and methods are useful for genetic engineering in microorganisms, especially where multiple genetic insertions are sought. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110047863 | Production of Oil in Microorganisms - The invention provides methods of manufacturing biodiesel and other oil-based compounds using glycerol and combinations of glycerol and other feedstocks as an energy source in fermentation of oil-bearing microorganisms. Microorganisms disclosed herein contain an exogenous gene encoding lipid pathway modification or hydrocarbon modification enzymes, and can be cultivated using glycerol, including glycerol waste from biodiesel production, as a feedstock. | 03-03-2011 |
