Patents by Inventor Marjan De Mey

Marjan De Mey 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).

  • Publication number: 20250051813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to genetically engineered organisms, especially microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts, for the production of added value bio-products such as specialty saccharide, activated saccharide, nucleoside, glycoside, glycolipid or glycoprotein. More specifically, the present invention relates to host cells that are metabolically engineered so that they can produce said valuable specialty products in large quantities and at a high rate by bypassing classical technical problems that occur in biocatalytical or fermentative production processes.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 23, 2024
    Publication date: February 13, 2025
    Inventors: Jo Maertens, Joeri Beauprez, Marjan De Mey
  • Publication number: 20250011824
    Abstract: The present invention relates to mutated chitin oligosaccharide synthases and their usage to produce molecules having useful features. More specifically, the present invention discloses the usage of engineered microorganisms expressing a mutated chitin oligosaccharide synthase to produce chitin oligosaccharides having a degree of polymerization of four, five, six or seven.
