Patents by Inventor Klaus Selber

Klaus Selber 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).

  • Patent number: 9719064
    Abstract: The present invention describes the DNA-sequence of the wild type genome as well as all genetic modifications which were introduced into the wild type—and further developed strains, based thereon. Thereby the first genotypic characterization of the developed strains, including the latest production strain, has been accomplished, accounting for the major part of the invention. Furthermore, on the basis of the determined DNA-sequences, potential genes were identified and account, combined with their functional annotation, for another part of the invention. In particular, the gene- and DNA-sequences, as well as protein-sequences derived there out, contribute to the invention which were affected by mutagenic modifications throughout the strain development process, potentially contributing to the increased production yield.

  • Patent number: 9562249
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an innate DNA sequence within the complete genome sequence of Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 which resembles the structure of an actinomycete integrative and conjugative element (AICE). Related AICEs were used for establishing genetic manipulation tools for other bacteria in the past. In this document, we describe the unique features of the specific AICE found in Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 which are clearly distinct from any other known AICE as a whole, but share minor parts with varying sequence similarity with other characterized AICEs from other species.

  • Patent number: 7335492
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolation and purification of protein in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). Specifically, the invention provides processes for partitioning of proteins of interest in ATPS by fusing said proteins to targeting proteins which have the ability of carrying said protein into one of the phases.
