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.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the amount of at least one polypeptide in a host cell by expressing a nucleotide sequence encoding for the polypeptide in the host cell wherein the nucleotide sequence uses codons that are rarely used according to the codon usage of the host organism. Furthermore, the present invention relates to nucleotide sequences encoding for a polypeptide with a codon usage that has been adjusted to use codons that are only rarely used according to the codon usage of the host organism. The present invention further relates to the use of such sequences and methods for producing fine chemicals such as amino acids, sugars, lipids, oils, carbohydrates, vitamins, cofactors etc.
