Abstract:
The present invention provides a modified Bacillus cell for the production of a compound of interest, wherein the Bacillus cell comprises a genetic modification that leads to decreased production of enzymes with lipase and/or esterase activity. The use of compounds of interest produced with said improved Bacillus host cells reduces the formation of malodour and/or off-flavour when used for applications such as washing or cleaning or as feed or food additives.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the field of fermentation technology and microorganisms useful for such fermentations.

Abstract:
The present invention pertains to the field of amylases, particularly alpha-amylases, and compositions comprising such amylases. Also described are means and methods for producing such amylases, and uses of amylases and amylase-comprising compositions, for example for cleaning starch-containing stains, textile desizing, starch liquefaction and saccharification, baking and brewing. The invention also discloses means for increasing amylase purity during fermentation, formulation and storage of amylase or amylase-containing formulations.
Abstract:
A process for production of a protein of interest in a microbial host organism comprising the steps of:a) constructing a vector comprising a gene for the protein of interest and a functional frr gene and no antibiotic resistance gene,b) transforming a host organism having an inactivated chromosomal frr gene with the vector obtained in a),c) culturing the transformed host organism obtained in b) under conditions allowing the expression of the gene of interest in the host organism andd) isolating the protein of interest.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Bacillus licheniformis host cell for production of biological compounds with increased purity. Specifically, the invention relates to a Bacillus licheniformis host with one or more genetic modifications selected from a) a genetic modification causing compared to an unmodified control cell an increased expression of at least one of the genes selected from the group consisting of degQ, degll, degS, degR, and phrG, b) a genetic modification causing compared to an unmodified control cell an increased autophosphorylation activity of the DegS protein, and c) a genetic modification causing compared to an unmodified control cell a reduced phosphatase activity of the DegS protein. The present invention further relates to a method for production of at least one compound of interest with increased purity based on cultivating the bacterial host cell of the present invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Bacillus host cell for increased production of biological compounds. Specifically, the invention relates to a Bacillus host with genetic modifications that lead to decreased production of components of biofilm and increased levels of phosphorylated De-gll. Said Bacillus host comprises at least one gene expression cassette with a polynucleotide encoding at least one polypeptide of interest, operably linked to a promoter for the production of compounds. The present invention further relates to a method for increased production of at least one polypeptide of interest based on cultivating the bacterial host cell of the present invention.
