Patents by Inventor Kaman Chan

Kaman Chan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Production of fatty alcohols from engineered microorganisms
    Patent number: 9714437
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to the production of a fatty alcohol composition from recombinant microbial cells. The fatty alcohols are produced by expressing a gene encoding a heterologous fatty alcohol forming acyl-CoA reductase (“FAR”); a gene encoding a heterologous thioesterase (“TE”) gene and a gene encoding an acyl-CoA synthetase (“ACS”).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2017
    Assignee: Codexis, Inc.
    Inventors: Kaman Chan, Fernando Valle, Yoram Barak, Louis Clark, Kristian Karlshoej, Jonathan Vroom, Jovana Nazor, Claus M Krebber, Kenneth Mitchell
  • Production of fatty alcohols from engineered microorganisms
    Patent number: 9650655
    Abstract: 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 ?-ketoacyl acyl carrier protein synthase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2017
    Assignee: Codexis, Inc.

  • Production of saturated fatty alcohols from engineered microorganisms
    Patent number: 9447436
    Abstract: Recombinant bacterial microorganisms are provided which comprise heterologous fatty acyl reductases (“FAR”) polypeptides wherein said microorganisms have been engineered to produce increased amounts of saturated fatty alcohols and methods of making saturated fatty alcohols using the recombinant bacterial microorganisms.
