  • Heterologous expression of extremophile heat shock proteins and chaperones in microorganisms to increase tolerance to toxic compounds
    Patent number: 8685729
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for increasing tolerance of microorganisms to toxic agents, such as solvents; and for increasing production of solvents from solvent-generating microorganisms. The methods comprise engineering a microorganism of interest to express a heterologous heat-shock protein/chaperone, e.g., Group II chaperonin or a prefoldin such as ?-prefoldin, where the heterologous protein is from an extremophile, such as an archaean.
    Type: Grant
