    摘要: Yeast cells with a reduced general control response to amino acid starvation were found to have increased tolerance to butanol in the growth medium. The reduced response was engineered by genetic modification of a gene involved in the response, a
    GCN gene, to eliminate activity of the encoded protein. Yeast strains with an engineered butanol biosynthetic pathway and a genetic modification in a gene involved in the general control response to amino acid starvation, which have increased butanol tolerance, are useful for production of butanol.

    摘要: A method is provided for producing butanol through microbial fermentation, in which the butanol product is removed during the fermentation by extraction into a water-immiscible organic extractant in the presence of at least one osmolyte at a concentration at least sufficient to increase the butanol partition coefficient relative to that in the presence of the osmolyte concentration of the basal fermentation medium and of an optional fermentable carbon source. The osmolyte may comprise a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, glycerol, sugarcane juice, molasses, polyethylene glycol, dextran, high fructose corn syrup, corn mash, starch, cellulose, and combinations thereof. Also provided is a method and composition for recovering butanol from a fermentation medium.

    摘要: The present invention is related to a recombinant host cell, in particular a yeast cell, comprising a dihydroxy-acid dehydratase polypeptide. The invention is also related to a recombinant host cell having increased specific activity of the dihydroxy-acid dehydratase polypeptide as a result of increased expression of the polypeptide, modulation of the Fe—S cluster biosynthesis of the cell, or a combination thereof. The present invention also includes methods of using the host cells, as well as, methods for identifying polypeptides that increase the flux in an Fe—S cluster biosynthesis pathway in a host cell.
