  • Yeast with increased butanol tolerance involving filamentous growth response
    Patent number: 8557562
    Abstract: Increasing tolerance to butanol in yeast has been accomplished by increasing activity of the filamentous growth response. Yeast with increased expression of MSS11p, a transcriptional activator of the filamentous growth response pathway had increased tolerance to isobutanol. These yeast may be used for improved butanol production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2013
    Assignee: Butamax(TM) Advanced Biofuels LLC
    Inventors: Michael G. Bramucci, Robert A. Larossa, Manjari Singh
  • Method for the production of 1-butanol
    Patent number: 8426173
    Abstract: A method for the production of 1-butanol by fermentation using a microbial production host is disclosed. The method employs a reduction in temperature during the fermentation process that results in a more robust tolerance of the production host to the butanol product.
    Type: Grant
