摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a microorganism producing O-acetylhomoserine with high efficiency and a method for producing O-acetylhomoserine and L-methionine using the microorganism. The present disclosure provides a microorganism producing O-acetylhomoserine having an enhanced activity of a protein which is predicted to export O-acetylhomoserine, and a method for producing O-acetylhomoserine and L-methionine using the microorganism.
摘要:
The present invention deals with a method of producing 2,4-dihydroxybutyric acid (2,4-DHB) by a synthetic pathway comprising the transformation of malate in 4-phospho-malate using a malate kinase, said 4-phospho-malate being transformed in malate-4-semialdehyde using a malate semialdehyde dehydrogenase and said malate-4-semialdehyde being transformed in 2,4-DHB using a DHB dehydrogenase.
摘要:
This invention provides immunogenic compositions for the immunization of a vertebrate or invertebrate comprising an avirulent derivative of S. typhi. The derivatives having a mutation of the cya and/or crp and/or cdt genes. The invention also provides immunogenic compositions for the immunization of a vertebrate and invertebrate comprising an avirulent derivative of the above type which is capable of expressing a recombinant gene derived from a pathogen of said vertebrate or invertebrate individual to produce an antigen capable of inducing an immune response against said pathogen. Other embodiments of the invention include methods of preparing immunogenic compositions from these strains, and strains useful in the preparation of the immunogenic compositions, as well as methods of stimulating the immune system to respond to an immunogenic antigen of S. typhi by administration of the immunogenic composition.

摘要:
The invention encompasses a recombinant bacterium that comprises at least one vector capable of expressing a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antigen. In particular, the bacterium comprises at least one chromosomally encoded essential nucleic acid that is altered so that it is not expressed, and at least one extrachromosomal vector.
摘要:
The invention encompasses methods of maintaining desired recombinant genes in a genetic population of cells expressing the recombinant gene. The methods utilize mutant cells which are characterized by a lack of a functioning native gene encoding an enzyme which is essential for cell survival, wherein this enzyme catalyzes a step in the biosynthesis of an essential cell wall structural component and the presence of a first recombinant gene encoding an enzyme which is a functional replacement for the native enzyme, wherein the first recombinant gene cannot replace the defective chromosomal gene. The first recombinant gene is structurally linked to a second recombinant gene encoding a desired product. Loss of the first recombinant gene causes the cells to lyse when the cells are in an environment where a product due to the expression of the first recombinant gene is absent. The invention also encompasses methods of creating and isolating mutant cells with the above characteristics. The cells of the invention are useful for commercial production of desired products, for components of vaccines for immunizing individuals, and for release into the environment.
