  • METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF ISOPRENE RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM, GENE CONSTRUCT, VECTOR AND APPLICATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20190241913
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to method for enhanced production of metabolite including but not limiting to isoprene and isoprenoid through chromosomal integration of genes belonging to MEP pathway. The disclosure further relates a host cell for the production of the said metabolite. The method of the present disclosure bypasses the cumbersome method of plasmid application for the production of metabolite. The disclosure also relates to a gene construct comprising MEP genes and auxotrophic markers and a vector comprising the said gene construct.

  • Dereplication strain of
    Patent number: 10118945
    Abstract: Modified fungal strains having deleted gene clusters are provided. The modified fungal strains include A. nidulans. The deleted gene clusters are selected from the group of gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of sterigmatocystin, emericellamides, asperfuranone, monodictyphenone, terrequinone, F9775A, F9775B, asperthecin, and both portions of the split cluster that makes austinol and dehydroaustinol. Methods for making compounds by culturing the fungus in a growth media and separating the compound from the fungus and/or separating the compound from the growth media are included, as are the compounds and compositions comprising them.
