Patents by Inventor Chong Mei John KOH

Chong Mei John KOH has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Intron-containing promoters and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11254943
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of molecular biology and more particularly to promoters useful for metabolic engineering in yeast or fungi for the production of biobased chemicals with broad applications. Intron-containing promoters with strong activity during oil-accumulation stages are particularly useful for genetic engineering in yeast and fungi, particularly Rhodosporidium or Rhodotorula genera. Such promoter are capable of driving strong expression of RNA or proteins in species of the Rhodosporidium or Rhodotorula genera.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2022
    Assignee: Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory Limited
    Inventors: Lianghui Ji, Yanbin Liu, Chong Mei John Koh, Sihui Amy Yap
  • Production of fatty alcohols in Rhodosporidium
    Patent number: 11034981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of fungal production fatty alcohols. More specifically, the present invention relates to genetically modified host cells, nucleic acid constructs and culture medium for the production of fatty alcohols in Rhodosporidium.
    Type: Grant
