摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of methionine using modified strains with attenuated transformation of threonine. This can be achieved by reducing threonine transformation into glycine, and/or by reducing its transformation to α-ketobutyrate. The invention also concerns the modified strains with attenuated transformation of threonine.

The present invention relates to use of inducible promoters in the production of glycolic acid by fermentation. The present invention concerns a method for the production of glycolic acid in a fermentative process comprising the following steps: culturing a modified microorganism in an appropriate culture medium comprising a source of carbon, modulating in said microorganism the expression of a target gene with an external stimulus, and recovering glycolic acid from the culture medium, wherein in said modified microorganism, the expression of at least one gene involved in glycolic acid production is under the control of a heterologous inducible promoter whose activity is modulated with said external stimulus. The invention also concerned the modified microorganism used in the method of glycolic acid production.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of methionine or its derivatives by culturing a microorganism in an appropriate culture medium comprising a source of carbon and a source of sulphur. The microorganism and/or the culture medium and/or the process parameters were modified in a way that the accumulation of the by-product N-acyl-methionine (NAM) is reduced. The isolation of methionine or its derivatives from the fermentation medium is also claimed.

The present invention concerns a new method combining evolution and rational design for the preparation of a strain of micro-organism for the production of acetol from a simple carbon source. The said method comprises: growing an initial strain under selection pressure in an appropriate growth medium, said initial bacterial strain comprising an attenuation of the expression of the tpiA gene and an attenuation the expression of at least one gene involved in the conversion of methylglyoxal to lactate, in order to promote evolution in said initial strain, then selecting and isolating the evolved strain having an increased acetol or 1,2-propanediol production rate, then reconstructing a functional tpiA gene in the evolved strain. The present invention also concerns the evolved strain such as obtained, that may be furthermore genetically modified in order to optimize the conversion of a simple carbon source into acetol without by-products and with the best possible yield.
摘要:
The present invention is relative to a method for producing 1,2-propanediol by fermentation, comprising: cultivating a microorganism producing 1,2-propanediol in an appropriate medium comprising a source of sucrose, and recovering the 1,2-propanediol being produced, wherein the microorganism is able to utilize sucrose as sole carbon source for the production of 1,2-propanediol. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the source of sucrose is obtained from plant biomass, and is in particular sugar cane juice.
摘要:
This invention concerns a microorganism useful for the production of acetol from a simple carbon source, wherein said microorganism is characterized by: an improved activity of the biosynthesis pathway from dihydroxyacetone phosphate to acetol, and an attenuated activity of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase This invention also concerns a method for producing acetol by fermentating a microorganism according to the invention.
摘要:
The present invention provides a bacterium and a method for the biological production of ethanolamine from a fermentable carbon source. In one aspect of the present invention, a process for the conversion of glucose to ethanolamine is achieved by the use of a recombinant bacterium transformed i) to express a serine decarboxylase enzyme to convert serine to ethanolamine ii) to inactivate the ethanolamine consuming pathways and iii) to increase 3-phosphoglycerate availability. In another aspect of the present invention, the process for the production of ethanolamine from glucose using a recombinant E. coli is improved by i) increasing the flux in the serine pathway and ii) decreasing the flux in the serine consuming pathways.
