Abstract:
A method of making a Bacillus alpha-amylase variant that increases alpha-amylase production and the alpha-amylases produced thereby. The recombinant alpha-amylases can be placed in compositions and used for purposes of laundry detergents, cleaning and dishwashing detergents, fabric desizing, starch liquefaction, cereal liquefaction, starch saccharification, biofilm removal, and starch hydrolysis in cane sugar processing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel variants of the enzymatic peptide pullulanase, the gene sequences encoding said novel peptides, expression vectors comprising those gene sequences as well as organisms expressing the novel pullulanase variants. The novel pullulanase variants of the present invention were made empirically by the use of codon-optimization procedures, selective truncation of “wild-type” molecules and through the replacement of selected amino acid residues. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of these novel pullulanase peptides in the textile, fermentation, food and other industries.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally related to modified Gram positive bacterial cells producing increased amounts of one or more protein(s) of interest and modified Gram positive bacterial cells having increased genetic competency. Thus, certain embodiments of the disclosure are directed to modified Gram positive bacterial cells expressing an increased amount of a protein of interest, relative to an unmodified (parental) Gram positive bacterial cell expressing the same protein of interest, wherein the modified bacterial cell comprises at least one mutation in a rpo C gene encoding a variant RNA-polymerase (RNAP) β'-subunit polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the rpo C gene encoding the variant β'-subunit polypeptide is integrated into the chromosome of the modified cell. In other embodiments, the rpo C gene encoding the variant β-subunit polypeptide is comprised on an extrachromosomal plasmid introduced into the modified cell. In other embodiments, the disclosure is directed to competent Bacillus host cells comprising at least one copy of a nucleic acid construct encoding a modified rpoC polypeptide comprising 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 8 and an aspartic acid to glycine substitution at position 796 of SEQ ID NO: 8, wherein the polynucleotide encoding the rpoC polypeptide is foreign to the Bacillus host cell that was non-competent prior to the introduction of the first nucleic acid construct.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for improving the yield of microbial processes that use lignocellulose biomass as a nutrient source. The methods comprise conditioning a composition comprising lignocellulose biomass with an enzyme composition that comprises a phenol oxidizing enzyme. The conditioned composition can support a higher rate of growth of microorganisms in a process. In one embodiment, a laccase composition is used to condition lignocellulose biomass derived from non-woody plants, such as corn and sugar cane. The invention also encompasses methods for culturing microorganisms that are sensitive to inhibitory compounds in lignocellulose biomass. The invention further provides methods of making a product by culturing the production microorganisms in conditioned lignocellulose biomass.
