Abstract: The aim is to increase the protein product yield in microbial fermentation. This is achieved by a method which introduces into a microorganism not only a first expression construct which encodes the protein, but also a second expression construct which encodes an auxiliary protease which differs from the protein, is proteolytically active and which comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 50% identical to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1.

Abstract: The invention is about E. coli host cells which are capable to convert glycerol to serinol. Furthermore, a process for producing serinol is disclosed, which comprises culturing E. coli host cells inactive for triosephosphate isomerase and active for dihydroxyacetone phosphate aminotransferase to convert glycerol to serinol, induction of conversion from glycerol to serinol by adding at least glycerol to the cell culture, and isolating serinol from the cell culture.
