Abstract:
The present invention relates to an isolated mutant eubacterium comprising at least one mutation resulting in a substitution of at least one amino acid in the beta-subunit of the RNA-polymerase encoded for by the rpoB-gene providing an altered production of a product of interest when said production of a product of interest is compared to the production of the same product in an isogenic wild type strain grown at identical conditions, wherein the substitution of at least one amino acid occurs at any of positions 469, 478, 482, 485, or 487 of SEQ ID NO:2, or at the equivalent positions in any eubacterial RNA-polymerase beta-subunit family member. Another aspect of the invention relates to a process for producing at least one product of interest in a mutant eubacterium and to a use of the mutant eubacterium according to the invention for producing at least one product of interest.

Abstract:
Provided herein are Lactobacillus mutants having improved transformation efficiency, comprising a disruption to an endogenous gene encoding a restriction modification system protein. Also described are methods for producing the mutants, methods for generating transformants using the mutants, and methods for producing a polypeptide or fermentation product using the mutants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the site-specific integration of at least one polynucleotide of interest into the chromosome of a Bacillus licheniformis host cell using the FLP/FRT system derived from Saccharomoces cerevisiae or a homologue or variant thereof.
