  • Publication number: 20150072399
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems and compositions, including genetically modified microorganisms, directed to achieve decreased microbial conversion of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) to aldehydes of 3-HP. In various embodiments this is achieved by disruption of particular aldehyde dehydrogenase genes, including multiple gene deletions. Among the specific nucleic acids that are deleted whereby the desired decreased conversion is achieved are aldA, aldB, puuC), and usg of E. coli. Genetically modified microorganisms so modified are adapted to produce 3-HP, such as by approaches described herein.

  • Publication number: 20150056684
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems and compositions, including genetically modified microorganisms, adapted to exhibit increased tolerance to 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), particularly through alterations to interrelated metabolic pathways identified herein as the 3-HP toleragenic pathway complex (“3HPTGC”). In various embodiments these organisms are genetically modified so that an increased 3-HP tolerance is achieved. Also, genetic modifications may be made to provide at least one genetic modification to any of one or more 3-HP biosynthesis pathways in microorganisms comprising one or more genetic modifications of the 3HPTGC.

  • Publication number: 20140330032
    Abstract: Metabolically engineered microorganism strains are disclosed, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a chemical product. Such chemical products include polyketides, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, and various other chemical products described herein. Methods of production also may be applied to further downstream products, such as consumer products. In various embodiments, modifications to a microorganism and/or culture system divert, at least transiently, usage of malonyl-coA from the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway and thereby provides for usage of the malonyl-coA for a chemical product other than a fatty acid. In various embodiments, the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway is modulated to produce specific fatty acids or combinations of fatty acids.
