  • Sequestration of carbon dioxide with hydrogen to useful products
    Patent number: 10227617
    Abstract: Provided herein are genetically engineered microbes that include at least a portion of a carbon fixation pathway, and in one embodiment, use molecular hydrogen to drive carbon dioxide fixation. In one embodiment, the genetically engineered microbe is modified to convert acetyl CoA, molecular hydrogen, and carbon dioxide to 3-hydroxypropionate, 4-hydroxybutyrate, acetyl CoA, or the combination thereof at levels greater than a control microbe. Other products may also be produced. Also provided herein are cell free compositions that convert acetyl CoA, molecular hydrogen, and carbon dioxide to 3-hydroxypropionate, 4-hydroxybutyrate, acetyl CoA, or the combination thereof. Also provided herein are methods of using the genetically engineered microbes and the cell free compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2019
    Assignees: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC., NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Michael W. W. Adams, Robert M. Kelly, Aaron B. Hawkins, Angeli Lal Menon, Gina Lynette Pries Lipscomb, Gerrit Jan Schut
