  • Isolated genes and transgenic organisms for producing biofuels
    Patent number: 10612053
    Abstract: Methods for the production of lipids and biofuels with a culture of Candidatus Microthrix spp. grown on a medium such as wastewater or sewage sludge are provided. The Candidatus Microthrix spp. may be cultured with additional microorganisms that contribute to the accumulation of lipids from the growth medium such as Zoog!oea spp., Rhizobacter spp., Blautia spp., Hydrolatea spp., ODI genera incertae sedis. Further discloses are transformed organisms comprising genes isolated from Candidatus Microthrix parvicella, as well as methods and processes for producing lipids, fatty acids, or biofuels in vitro using the protein products of the isolated genes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2020
    Assignees: The Translational Genomics Research Institute, Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Northern Arizona University, Universite du Luxembourg
    Inventors: Emilie Muller, Paul Wilmes, Paul S. Keim, John D. Gillece, James M. Schupp, Lance B. Price, David M. Engelthaler
