  • Genetically modified organisms for production of polyketides
    Patent number: 11884948
    Abstract: Strains of yeasts are provided containing the genes for the production of cannabinoids from fatty acids. The enzymes that mediate cannabinoid production are localized to the cytosol, peroxisome or different compartments within the secretory pathway (e.g., endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, vacuole) to ensure efficient production. The engineered microorganisms produce cannabinoids in a controlled fermentation process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: PYRONE SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Alexander Hutagalung, Jose Miguel Laplaza
