Abstract: Less-than-diploid I. orientalis cells are produced. The cells have at least one unpaired chromosome and may be haploid, i.e., are missing one member of each pair of chromosomes that are present in the wild-type strains. The less-than-diploid cells are useful fermentation strains, performing similarly to diploid strains that are otherwise similarly engineered. The less-than-diploid strains can be mated to produce diploids, which themselves are useful fermentation strains. The less-than-diploid strains are also useful as host strains for producing further genetically modified strains that can be less-than-diploid or mated to produce diploids.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for increasing the specific activity of myo-inositol oxygenase. The method includes incubating a mixture including myo-inositol oxygenase and a non-sulfur containing reductant under conditions effective to increase the specific activity of the myo-inositol oxygenase. Also disclosed are methods for producing D-glucuronic acid and glucurono-?-lactone comprising incubating a mixture including myo-inositol, myo-inositol oxygenase, and oxygen under conditions effective to form 5 grams D-glucuronic acid per liter of the mixture to 400 grams D-glucuronic acid per liter of the mixture. Glucurono-?-lactone can be produced from the D-glucuronic acid product. Also disclosed are organisms and nucleic acids suitable for use in such methods.
