摘要:
The present invention relates to eukaryotic cells which have the ability to isomerize xylose directly into xylulose by transformation with nucleotide sequences encoding a xylose isomerase that has one or more specific sequence elements typical for isomerases which are functionally expressed in yeasts, such as xylose isomerases obtainable from bacteria of the genera Clostridium and Fusobacterium or a tunicate from the genus Ciona. The cell preferably is a yeast or a filamentous fungus capable of anaerobic alcoholic fermentation. The cells may further comprise one or more genetic modifications that increase the flux of the pentose phosphate pathway or, reduce unspecific aldose reductase activity. The cell preferably has the ability to produce a fermentation product such as ethanol, lactic acid, 3-hydroxy-propionic acid, &bgr;-lactam antibiotics and cephalosporins. Also provided are processes for producing these fermentation products from xylose.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a continuous production system for producing carbon-containing compounds, comprising a genetically modified photosynthetic microorganism, such as a Cyanobacterium, that contains one or more mutations or deletions in a glycogen biosynthesis or storage pathway. The system and methods provided herein facilitate the production of carbon-containing compounds under reduced growth conditions, including biofuels, lipids, and other specialty chemicals, such as fatty acids, alkanes, alkenes, wax esters, and triglycerides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to glucoamylase variants having improved thermostability. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.
摘要:
The invention relates to a cell which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a xylose isomerase, wherein the amino acid sequence of the xylose isomerase has at least 75% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 and wherein the nucleotide sequence is heterologous to the host. A cell of the invention may be used in a process for producing a fermentation product, such as ethanol. Such a process may comprise fermenting a medium containing a source of xylose with a cell of the invention such that the cell ferments xylose to the fermentation product.
