摘要:
The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism comprising one or more nucleotide sequence(s) encoding: a polypeptide having ent-copalyl pyrophosphate synthase activity; a polypeptide having ent-Kaurene synthase activity; a polypeptide having ent-Kaurene oxidase activity; and a polypeptide having kaurenoic acid 13-hydroxylase activity, whereby expression of the nucleotide sequence(s) confer(s) on the microorganism the ability to produce at least steviol, and wherein said recombinant microorganism has been modified in its genome such that it results in a deficiency in the production of one or more of: (i) a phosphatase capable of acting on geranylgeranylpyrophosphate (GGPP) resulting in the formation of geranylgeraniol (GOH); (ii) a phosphatase capable of acting on farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP) resulting in the formation of farnesol and nerolidol; (iii) an exo-1,3-β glucanase; (iv) a glycogen synthase (or a polypeptide that influences glycogen accumulation); (v) a transcriptional repressor of hypoxic genes (ROX1) (vi) an NADPH oxidase; or (vii) a monocarboxylate transporter (JEN1) (viii) a polypeptide having activity as encoded for by the open reading frame, YJL064w; or (ix) a polypeptide The recombinant microorganism may also be capable of expressing one or more UDP-glucosyltransferases such that the microorganism is capable of producing one or more steviol glycosides.

Disclosed herein is an industrial scale process of cultivating cultivating Ganoderma lucidum mycelia. As high as 15 Kg dried Ganoderma lucidum mycelia may be produced from about 300 liters liquid culture every 30 days, and the resulting dried Ganoderma lucidum mycelia are rich in triterpenoids that include at least ganoderic acid S (GAS), ganoderic acid T (GAT), ganoderic acid Me (GAMe), ganoderic acid R (GAR), and ganodermic acid S (GMAS).
摘要:
Recombinant microorganisms are disclosed that produce steviol glycosides and have altered expression of one or more endogenous transporter or transcription factor genes, or that overexpress one or more heterologous transporters, leading to increased excretion of steviol glycosides of interest.

摘要:
A process is provided for improving sensory properties of essential oils by treatment and incubation with a microbial culture during the extraction process. A method for increasing the patchoulol content in essential- oil extracted from leaves of Pogostemon cablin is provided, comprising contacting a dried patchouli biomass with microbial cultures, incubating the patchouli biomass under conditions suitable for allowing the increase in the patchoulol content and extracting the oil. This process results in increased patchoulol content without decreasing the overall oil yields. The patchouli oil also has enriched aroma.
摘要:
This invention provides methods whereby taxol, baccatin III, and other taxol-like compounds, or taxanes, can be produced in very high yield from all known Taxus species, e.g., brevifolia, canadensis, cuspidata, baccata, globosa, floridana, wallichiana, media and chinensis. Particular modifications of culture conditions (i.e., media composition and operating modes) have been discovered to enhance the yield of various taxanes from cell culture of all species of Taxus. Particularly preferred enhancement agents include silver ion or complex, jasmonic acid (especially the methyl ester), auxin-related growth regulators, and inhibitors of the phenylpropanoid pathway, such as 3,4-methylenedioxy-6-nitrocinnamic acid. These enhancement agents may be used alone or in combination with one another or other yield-enhancing conditions. While the yield of taxanes from plant cell culture of T. chinensis is particularly enhanced by use of one or more of these conditions, yield of taxanes for all Taxus species has been found to benefit from use of these conditions.
