  • Metabolically engineered micro-organisms having improved galactose uptake
    Patent number: 7393669
    Abstract: A recombinant prototrophic micro-organism such as a yeast is provided which over-expresses the activity of an enzyme catalysing the conversion of glucose-1 phosphate to glucose-6 phosphate in the galactose uptake and metabolism pathway. Suitably the increased enzyme activity is due to over-expression of the gene PGM2. This produces increased uptake of galactose and increased ethanol production when the organism is grown on a galactose containing medium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2003
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2008
    Assignee: Fluxome Sciences A/S
    Inventors: Christoffer Bro, Birgitte Regenberg, Jens Nielsen
