  • Publication number: 20230183767
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically modified microorganisms and related methods for the enhanced production and export of oligosaccharides. The microorganisms described herein express major facility superfamily proteins such as CDT-1, which allows for the export of oligosaccharides. Variants of CDT-1 exhibit higher activity regarding oligosaccharide export. The microorganisms described herein express formation enzymes for the production of oligosaccharides. Means to export oligosaccharides into the growth medium are provided herein.

  • Patent number: 11597938
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetically modified microorganisms and related methods for enhanced utilization of oligosaccharides and improved productivity of compounds derived from the metabolism of the oligosaccharides. The microorganisms described herein have altered activities of plasma membrane ATPase protein (PMA1) and/or one or more extracellular glucose sensors, namely, sucrose non-fermenting protein (SNF3), restores glucose transport protein (RGT2), and G protein-coupled receptor 1 protein (GPR1). These genetic modifications provide the microorganisms an increased ability to utilize an oligosaccharide to produce a compound of interest, particularly, tagatose, 2?-fucosyllactose, and psicose. Methods of culturing the microorganisms in the presence of such oligosaccharides to produce the products of interest are also provided.
