Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of novel promoters for heterologous gene expression, preferably for expression of genes in organisms of the genus Yarrowia, to the genetically modified organisms of the genus Yarrowia, and to a process for producing biosynthetic products by cultivating the genetically modified organisms.
Abstract:
This disclosure concerns a novel modular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthase and recombinant host organisms genetically modified with such synthase and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The disclosure also concerns methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel hydroxylases, nucleic acid sequences coding therefore, expression constructs and vectors comprising these sequences, microorganisms transformed therewith, processes for the microbiological hydroxylation of isoprenoids, for example processes for converting beta-carotene into beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, or canthaxanthin into astaxanthin.
