  • Methods for Biosynthesis of Isobutene
    Publication number: 20140186913
    Abstract: The document provides methods for biosynthesizing isobutene using one or more isolated enzymes such as one or more of an enoyl-CoA dehydratase, a 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, an isovaleryl-CoA/acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and a mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase, or using recombinant host cells expressing one or more such enzymes.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: July 3, 2014
    Applicant: INVISTA North America S.á r.l.
    Inventors: Adriana Leonora Botes, Alex Van Eck Conradie
  • METHODS FOR BIOSYNTHESIZING 1,3 BUTADIENE
    Publication number: 20140141482
    Abstract: This document describes biochemical pathways for producing butadiene by forming two vinyl groups in a butadiene synthesis substrate. These pathways described herein rely on enzymes such as mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase, isoprene synthase, and dehydratases for the final enzymatic step.
