摘要:
Genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolytica for the production of fatty alcohols, including hexadecanol and octadecanol, are provided. The S. cerevisiae and Y. lipolytica can be genetically engineered to express or over-express a plurality of enzymes involved in fatty alcohol synthesis, such as acyl-CoA thioesterase, fatty acyl reductase, fatty acyl activating enzyme and fatty acyl synthetase, and can be further genetically engineered with a deficiency in one or more enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation, such as fatty acyl-CoA oxidase. Methods of producing fatty alcohols, such as hexadecanol and octadecanol, by fermenting the genetically engineered S. cerevisiae and Y. lipolytica are also described.
摘要:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol by forming one or two terminal functional groups, each comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl group, in a C7 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on the C1 elongation enzymes or homolog associated with coenzyme B biosynthesis.
摘要:
Recombinant microorganisms are provided which have been engineered to produce fatty alcohols. Also provided are recombinant microorganisms which comprise a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a fatty alcohol reductase enzyme and an introduced polynucleotide encoding a β-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to bioengineering approaches for producing biofuel and, in particular, to the use of a C 1 metabolizing microorganism reactor system for converting C1 substrates, such as methane or methanol, into biomass and subsequently into biofuels, bioplastics, or the like.
摘要:
The present disclosure identifies methods and compositions for modifying microbial cells, such that the organisms efficiently synthesize terminal olefins, and in particular the use of such organisms for the commercial production of propylene and related molecules.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for the production of oil, fuels, oleochemicals, and other compounds in recombinant microorganisms are provided, including oil-bearing microorganisms and methods of low cost cultivation of such microorganisms. Microalgal cells containing exogenous genes encoding, for example, a lipase, a sucrose transporter, a sucrose invertase, a fructokinase, a polysaccharide-degrading enzyme, a keto acyl-ACP synthase enzyme, a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase, a fatty acyl-CoA/aldehyde reductase, a fatty acyl-CoA reductase, a fatty aldehyde reductase, a fatty aldehyde decarbonylase, and/or an acyl carrier protein are useful in manufacturing transportation fuels such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, and renewable jet fuel, as well as oleochemicals such as functional fluids, surfactants, soaps and lubricants.
摘要:
