摘要:
The invention relates to the use of an enzyme preparation which catalyzes the degradation of formaldehyde for reducing the formaldehyde content in a formaldehyde-containing formulation. In a preferred embodiment, the enzyme preparation contains a formaldehyde dismutase from a Pseudomonas putida strain. Further, the invention refers to a process for reducing the formal dehyde content in cross-linking agents for textile finishing or in polymer dispersions used, e.g. in construction chemistry. Further the invention relates to the use of an enzyme preparation which catalyzes the degradation of aldehydes for reducing the formaldehyde content in an aldehyde-containing formulation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a novel variant of the formaldehyde dismutase from Pseudomonas putida.
摘要:
The present invention relates to bacterial strains, capable of utilizing glycerol as a carbon source for the fermentative production of succinic acid, wherein said strains are genetically modified so that they comprise a deregulation of their endogenous pyruvate-formate-lyase enzyme activity, as well as to methods of producing organic acids, in particular succinic acid, by making use of such microorganism. The present invention also relates to the downstream processing of the produced organic acids by cation exchange chromatography.

The present invention relates to a method of producing a recombinant polypeptide in a filamentous fungus which is genetically modified to decrease or eliminate the activity of cellulase regulator 1 (CLR1) and to express the recombinant polypeptide. The method further relates to a filamentous fungus Myceliophthora thermophila, which is genetically modified to decrease or eliminate the activity of CLR1 and to the use of this filamentous fungus in the production of a recombinant polypeptide.
摘要:
The present invention relates to microorganisms and processes for the efficient preparation of L-amino acids such as L-methionine. In particular, the present invention relates to microorganisms and processes in which the formation and/or accumulation of homolanthionine in the methionine pathway is reduced and/or prevented.
摘要:
The present invention features improved processes and organisms for the production of methionine. The invention demonstrates that a ΔmetF organism or a ΔmetE AmetH organism, for example, mutants of C. glutamicum or E. coli, can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), as a source of both sulfur and a methyl group, bypassing the need for MetH/MetΕ and MetF activity and the need to reduce sulfate, for the synthesis of methionine. Also described in this patent are data implicating MetY (also called MetZ) as an enzyme that incorporates a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, into methionine. A ΔmetF ΔmetB strain of C. glutamicum can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, as a source of both sulfide and a methyl group. Furthermore, methionine production by engineered prototrophic organisms that overproduce O-acetyl-homoserine was improved by the addition of a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS.
摘要:
The present invention relates to genetically modified microorganisms capable of producing beta-glucans, characterized in that said genetically modified microorganism overexpresses (i) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having 1,3-&bgr;-D-glucan synthase-activity, and/or (ii) a polypeptide having 1,3-&bgr;-D-glucan synthase-activity, compared to a corresponding non-modified control microorganism of the same strain. The present invention also relates to the use of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having 1,3-&bgr;-D-glucan synthase-activity or the use of such a polypeptide for producing &bgr;-glucans. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for producing &bgr;-glucans comprising the introduction of a promoter upstream of a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having 1,3-&bgr;-D-glucan synthase-activity thereby increasing the expression of said polynucleotide, or a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having 1,3-&bgr;-D-glucan synthase-activity into a microorganism being able to synthesize &bgr;-glucans.
