Abstract:
There is provided an engineered host cells comprising (a) one or more mutations in one or more endogenous genes encoding a protein associated with iron metabolism; and (b) at least one gene encoding a polypeptide having xylose isomerase activity, and methods of their use thereof.
Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a symbiotic combination of a bacterial host cell and a yeast host cell selected or engineered to utilize glycerol to reduce greenhouse gases during the production of ethanol from a biomass comprising hexoses.
Abstract:
There is provided chimeric polypeptides capable of converting xylose to xylulose, engineered host cells that express the chimeric polypeptides, methods of creating chimeric polypeptides, and methods of fermenting cellulosic biomass to produce biofuels, including ethanol.
Abstract:
There is provided an engineered host cells comprising (a) one or more mutations in one or more endogenous genes encoding a protein associated with iron metabolism; and (b) at least one gene encoding a polypeptide having xylose isomerase activity, and methods of their use thereof.

Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a symbiotic combination of a bacterial host cell and a yeast host cell selected or engineered to utilize glycerol to reduce greenhouse gases during the production of ethanol from a biomass comprising pentoses.
Abstract:
Acetate is a potent microbial inhibitor which can affect the performance of yeast in ethanolic fermentation. The present disclosure provides a recombinant microbial host cell having (i) a first genetic modification for increasing the activity of one or more proteins that function in a first metabolic pathway to convert acetate into an alcohol in the microbial host cell; (ii) a second genetic modification for increasing the activity of one or more proteins that function in a second metabolic pathway to import glycerol in the recombinant microbial host cell (iii) a third genetic modification for increasing the activity of one or more proteins that function in a third metabolic pathway to convert a C5 carbohydrate into ethanol in the microbial host cell. The recombinant microbial host cell comprises and natively expresses native proteins that function in a fourth native metabolic pathway to produce glycerol in the microbial host cell.
Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns a symbiotic combination of host cells engineered to produce a first metabolic product, for example a carbohydrate, and to convert the second metabolic product into a second metabolic product, for example an alcohol.
Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns recombinant yeast host cells expressing cell-associated heterologous proteins which are expressed during the propagation phase of the recombinant yeast host cells and processes for propagating same. The recombinant yeast host cells can be 5 used to make a yeast composition or a yeast product enriched in the heterologous proteins.
