  • Yeast Cells Having Reductive TCA Pathway from Pyruvate to Succinate and Overexpressing an Exongenous NAD(P)+ Transhydrogenase Enzyme
    Publication number: 20150203877
    Abstract: Yeast cells having a reductive TCA pathway from pyruvate or phosphoenolpyruvate to succinate, and which include at least one exogenous gene overexpressing an enzyme in that pathway, further contain an exogenous transhydrogenase gene.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 25, 2013
    Publication date: July 23, 2015
    Inventors: Brian J. Rush, Kevin T. Watts, Vernon L. McIntosh, JR., Arlene M. Fosmer, Gregory M. Poynter, Thomas W. McMullin
  • Yeast Cells Having NADP(H)-Dependent Reductive TCA Pathway from Pyruvate to Succinate
    Publication number: 20150176038
    Abstract: Recombinant yeast cells contain a reductive TCA pathway from phosphoenolpyruvate or pyruvate to succinate. At least one metabolic step in the pathway includes a reaction of NADPH to produce NADP+. The yeast cell contains at least one exogenous NADPH-dependent gene in the pathway from phosphoenolpyruvate or pyruvate to succinate, preferably an NADPH-dependent malate dehydrogensase or fumarate reducase gene (or both).
