  • Pseudomonas mutant strains with enhanced xylose and galactose utilization
    Publication number: 20230119263
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a Pseudomonas cell is able to grow in a medium with xylose or galactose as a sole carbon source with a growth rate of equal to or higher than 0.10 h?1. The present invention provides for methods and compositions relating to an engineered Pseudomonas putida KT2440 utilizing a non-native carbon source, such as galactose or xylose or both.

  • Performance enhancing genetic variants of
    Patent number: 10174307
    Abstract: The invention provides mutant Escherichia coli cells that contain one or more mutations in one or more of the rpoB, hns/tdk, cor A, ygaZ, iap, metL, ygeW, and pyrE/rph genes (exemplified in Table 2A and 2B), which confer on the mutant in M9-glucose minimal media the phenotype of increased level of growth and/or increased glucose uptake rate and/or increased acetate production rate and/or increased biomass yield, compared to a control E. coli (such as wild type E. coli) that lacks the one or more mutations in the one or more genes.
    Type: Grant
