    Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant cell which is capable of producing one or more of itaconic acid, 4-methyl itaconate or 1-methyl itaconate, wherein the said recombinant microorganism has been modified in its genome such that it results in a deficiency in the production of a trans-aconitate methyltransferase. A recombinant yeast cell which is capable of producing itaconic acid and which overexpresses: —a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having cis-aconitate decarboxylase activity; and —one or more nucleic acids encoding polypeptides which separately or together catalyze a reaction towards acetyl CoA, wherein the said recombinant microorganism has been modified in its genome such that it results in a deficiency in the production of a trans-aconitate methyltransferase. These recombinant yeast cells may be used in processes for the production of itaconic acid, 4-methyl itaconate or 1-methyl itaconate.

    Abstract: The present invention relates relates to a CRISPR-CAS system for a host cell, in particular to a method to produce a circular vector comprising one or more guide-polynucleotide expression cassettes, wherein said one or more guide-polynucleotide expression cassettes comprise a polynucleotide encoding a guide-polynucleotide operably linked to one or more control sequences which direct the expression of said guide-polynucleotide in a host cell, wherein said guide-polynucleotide comprises a guide-sequence that essentially is the reverse complement of a target-polynucleotide in a host cell and wherein the guide-polynucleotide can direct binding of a Cas protein at a target-polynucleotide in a host cell to form a CRISPR-Cas complex, in vivo.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of optimization of a protein coding sequences for expression in a given host cell. The methods apply genetic algorithms to optimise single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness sequences coding for a predetermined amino acid sequence. In the algorithm generation of new sequence variants and subsequent selection of fitter variants is reiterated until the variant coding sequences reach a minimum value for single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness. The invention also relates to a computer comprising a processor and memory, the processor being arranged to read from and write into the memory, the memory comprising data and instructions arranged to provide the processor with the capacity to perform the genetic algorithms for optimisation of single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness. The invention further relates to nucleic acids comprising a coding sequence for a predetermined amino acid sequence, the coding sequence being optimised with respect to single codon fitness and/or codon pair fitness for a given host in the methods of the invention, to host cells comprising such nucleic acids and to methods for producing polypeptides and other fermentation products in which these host cells are used.
