  • Publication number: 20250101371
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a genetically modified cell capable of utilizing sucrose as energy and carbon source following the expression of a single heterologous enzyme, which upon expression is translocated from the cytosol and which is capable of hydrolysing non-phosphorylated sucrose into fructose and glucose. The identification of efficient enzymes capable of hydrolysing sucrose in its non-modified form, and which on its own enable the cell to utilize sucrose as a, or as the main and/or sole, carbon and/or energy source, i.e., without the need for multi-gene sucrose utilizing systems comprising several other heterologous polypeptides, such as other enzymes and/or transporters, is highly advantageous, since it allows for cost-effective use of sucrose in large scale production processes.

  • Publication number: 20240417766
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses the identification and introduction of a specific heterologous gene (denoted as smob), which encodes an ?-1,2-fucosyltransferase, into an LNT production strain to produce LNFP-I in particular. The smob gene originates from the organism Sulfuriflexus mobilis (https://www.dsmz.de/collection/catalogue/details/culture/DSM-102939), which is a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium isolated from a brackish lake sediment. FIG. 1 should accompany the abstract.
