  • Genetically modified cyanobacteria for the production of ethanol, the constructs and method thereof
    Patent number: 6699696
    Abstract: The invention provides a genetically modified Cyanobacteria having a construct comprising DNA fragments encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) enzymes obtained from the Zymomonas mobilis plasmid pLOI295. The Cyanobacteria are capable of producing ethanol in recoverable quantities of at least 1.7 &mgr;mol ethanol per mg of chlorophyll per hour.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2004
    Assignee: Enol Energy Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Paul Woods, John Robert Coleman, Ming De Deng
