    摘要: The present invention relates to biomaterials, in particular bacterial cellulose and provides means to prepare pigmented cellulose at acidic pH 5.8, wherein cellulose pellicles comprising tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) are melanated using a development solution at pH 6 to 8.5 and comprises tyrosine, cysteine and/or cystine. Further, the invention relates to means of preparing spatially restricted pigmented cellulose using an optogenetic expression system wherein two polymerase or transcription factor domains are split and each linked to a light-inducible dimerization domain. The invention provides corresponding methods and components.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a novel method to engineer microbes to efficiently produce the plant auxin indole-3-acetic acid. While some microorganisms including soil bacteria are known to produce indole-3-acetic acid, the yields are often very low. This technology allows the engineering of selected microbes for a strong ability to produce indole-3-acetic acid. Specifically, indole-3-acetic acid biosynthetic genes and a tryptophan transporter are expressed in a microbial host to efficiently convert tryptophan into indole-3-acetic acid. The engineered strains can be used in industry to produce this plant auxin or directly applied in agriculture to promote plant growth.

    摘要: The invention provides a non-naturally occurring microbial organism having a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway. The microbial organism contains at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding an enzyme in the respective 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway. The invention additionally provides a method for producing 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid. The method can include culturing a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam or hexametheylenediamine producing microbial organism, where the microbial organism expresses at least one exogenous nucleic acid encoding a 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid pathway enzyme in a sufficient amount to produce the respective product, under conditions and for a sufficient period of time to produce 6-aminocaproic acid, caprolactam, hexametheylenediamine or levulinic acid.
