Abstract: Described herein are prenyltransferases including non-natural variants thereof having at least one amino acid substitution as compared to its corresponding natural or unmodified prenyltransferases and that are capable of at least two-fold greater rate of formation of cannabinoids such as cannabigerolic acid, cannabigerovarinic acid, cannabigerorcinic acid, and cannabigerol, as compared to a wild type control. Prenyltransferase variants also accept different hydrophobic substrates (e.g., “donor” molecules), compared to wild type controls, to create different minor and novel cannabinoids. Prenyltransferase variants also demonstrated regioselectivity to desired cannabinoid isomers such as CBGA (3-GOLA), 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG (2-GOL). The prenyltransferase variants can be used to form prenylated aromatic compounds, and can be expressed in an engineered microbe having a pathway to such compounds, which include 3-GOLA, 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG.

In one aspect, a variant cannabinoid synthase or an active fragment thereof is provided comprising a non-naturally occurring amino acid sequence relative to a wild-type cannabinoid synthase or an active fragment thereof which acts on a substrate to produce an altered amount of a cannabinoid relative to an amount of the cannabinoid produced by the wild-type cannabinoid synthase or active fragment thereof.

Abstract: A system and method of adjusting an audio output in one location so that its propagation into another location is reduced. As a first device in a first location generates sound, a second device in a second location detects the propagated sound. The first device then adjusts its output based on the detected sound.

Abstract: Systems and methods for purging lubricant from a first compressor to a second compressor are provided. A control module receives a lubricant purge command, shuts the second compressor to an OFF-mode while the first compressor remains in the ON-mode, restricts working fluid from an outlet of the second compressor from flowing into the first compressor and allows compressed working fluid discharged from an outlet of the first compressor to flow into the inlet of the second compressor such that lubricant in the second compressor flows into the first compressor.
