  • Method of producing and processing diamines to a diamine free base using a carbonate intermediate and an engineered microorganism
    Patent number: 11702682
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing and isolating a diamine produced by microbial fermentation that minimizes undesirable salt formation to provide a lower cost process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: Genomatica, Inc.
    Inventors: Lauri H. Suominen, Connor J. Galleher, Michael Japs, Mark J. Burk, Cara Tracewell
  • RECOVERY, DECARBOXYLATION, AND PURIFICATION OF CANNABINOIDS FROM ENGINEERED CELL CULTURES
    Publication number: 20220098625
    Abstract: Methods of recovering cannabinoids from cell cultures include methods comprising steps of separating the cell culture at a temperature above the melting point of the cannabinoid to separate a light phase comprising liquid state cannabinoid from a heavy phase; and methods comprising treating the cell culture at a temperature below the melting point of the cannabinoid to separate a light phase from a heavy phase comprising solid state cannabinoid. Other methods include contacting the culture with a water-miscible solvent to form a water-miscible phase and an aqueous phase, separating the two phases and recovering the cannabinoid. Other methods include contacting the culture with a water-immiscible solvent to form a water-immiscible phase and an aqueous phase, separating the two phases, and recovering the cannabinoid. Other methods include washing the inner surface of a fermentation vessel with alkaline solution to recover cannabinoid attached to the vessel surface.
