Abstract:
The description relates to, inter alia, recombinant microorganisms, engineered metabolic pathways, chemical catalysts, and products produced through the use of the described methods and materials. The products produced include functionalized alpha substituted C4 dicarboxylic acids, as well as functionalized malonyl-CoA, malonic semialdehyde, and acrylic acids, and their salts, esters and lactones.
Abstract:
Recombinant microorganisms comprising at least one exogenous nucleic acid sequence and capable of producing adipate semialdehyde are provided. Adipate semialdehyde may be produced in a synthesis pathway utilizing a single thiolase reaction. Adipate semialdehyde may also be produced from intermediates consisting of alpha, omega difunctional aliphatic organic molecules. Methods of using recombinant microorganisms to produce 6-aminocaproic acid, adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine and 1.6- hexanediol are also provided.
Abstract:
A method of increasing the production a difunctional alkane in a microorganism that produces a difunctional alkane from alpha-keto acid by increasing the production of homocitrate in the cell relative to a wild-type or parent cell. The production of homocitrate may be obtained by engineering pathways that increase the production of alpha-ketoacid, such as alpha-ketoglutarate.
Abstract:
The present application relates to curable coating compositions which include greater than 10 mole % of succinic acid. The inclusion of succinic acid provides a quick cure rate, useful hardness, desirable gloss properties and low yellowing. Described are also processes for the preparation of the curable coating compositions, their curing methods and their use in the coating of surfaces.

Abstract:
The present description relates to genetic tools and methods to facilitate transformation and genetic engineering of industrially-useful yeast/fungal species, such as Issatchenkia orientalis , for which a robust set of genetic tools such as stably inherited and maintained plasmids and functional control sequences is presently lacking. Thus, the present description relates to autonomously replicating sequences (ARSs), RNA polymerase II/III promoters, RNA polymerase II/III terminators, expression cassettes, and vectors comprising same are described herein, as well as uses and methods relating to same, which are functional in I. orientalis .
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to methods for converting homocitric acid to adipic acid, and more particularly to methods of using metal catalysts to catalyze the conversion of homocitric acid to adipic acid.
