Patents by Inventor Mark Goebl

Mark Goebl 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).

  • Patent number: 12203111
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a yeast strain capable of fermenting high maltose syrups into ethanol in the presence of glucose. In commercially important fuel ethanol yeast strains, the presence of glucose prevents robust maltose fermentation. This invention causes enhanced co-fermentation of maltose and glucose in strains otherwise identical to commercial fuel ethanol yeast strains.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2025
    Assignee: Xylogenics, Inc.

  • Patent number: 10563166
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are materials and methods for creating and/or isolating variants of yeasts especially variants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can grow on sugars other than D-glucose in the presence of amounts of 2-deoxy-glucose and or D-glucose that inhibit most strains of yeast from growing on sugars other than D-glucose. Selection media that can be used to isolate such variants include pentose sugars such as D-xylose, L-glutamine and 2-deoxy-glucose. Mutations in the Grr1 and Red genes in some strains also produce variants that can grow on sugars including the pentose D-xylose in the presence of 2-deoxy-glucose.
