摘要:
Recombinant microbial cells are provided which have been engineered to produce branched chain products such as branched fatty acid derivatives by the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, and methods of making branched fatty acid derivatives using the recombinant microbial cells.
摘要:
Methods of producing fatty acid esters, such as fatty acid ethyl esters, from microorganisms genetically engineered to alter the expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and/or ethanol production, such that a microorganism is obtained that can produce an alcohol, a fatty acid and an ester synthase in the absence of exogenously added alcohols.
摘要:
The invention provides a fermentation and recovery process for the production of biodiesel of commercial grade quality according to commercial and environmental standards (e.g., ASTM ANP, or EPA trace elements and emissions standards), by fermentation of carbohydrates using a genetically modified microorganism. The process provides a direct route for the production of fatty esters, without the need for producing oils which are later chemically transesterified with the concomitant production of large quantities of glycerin and other undesirable side -products.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel mutant thioesterase enzymes and naturally-occurring equivalents thereof, compositions made from such enzymes and uses of thioesterase enzymes. In particular, the present invention provides mutant thioesterase enzymes that have altered properties, for example, altered substrate specificity, altered activity, altered selectivity, and/or altered proportional yields in the product mixtures. The present invention also provides polynucleotides encoding such mutant thioesterase enzymes, and vectors and host cells comprising such polynucleotides. The invention further provides for novel uses of thioesterases in the production of various fatty acid derivatives, which are useful as, or as components of, industrial chemicals and fuels.
