  • Biofuel and chemical production by recombinant microorganisms via fermentation of proteinaceous biomass
    Patent number: 9284566
    Abstract: Provided herein are metabolically modified microorganisms characterized by having an increased keto-acid flux when compared with the wild-type organism and comprising at least one polynucleotide encoding an enzyme that when expressed results in the production of a greater quantity of a chemical product when compared with the wild-type organism. The recombinant microorganisms are useful for producing a large number of chemical compositions from various nitrogen containing biomass compositions and other carbon sources.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2016
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: James C. Liao, Kwang Myung Cho, Yajun Yan, Yixin Huo
