Abstract: The invention relates to a naturally hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium which is genetically modified to produce lactate from CO2, said bacterium being genetically modified to overexpress at least one gene encoding a lactate dehydrogenase, and to a process for producing lactate from CO2 using such a bacterium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant Deinococcus bacterium exhibiting enhanced 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate/1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (MEP/DXP) pathway, and its use for producing terpene or terpenoid compounds.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a method for generating crop yield traits. The method comprises identifying a multi-genic system associated with one or more gene of interest, wherein the one or more gene of interest is operatively linked to yield of crop. Identifying at least one combination of genes within the multi-genic system that yields an active multi-protein system of interest and generating mutational diversity on the at least one combination of genes to generate a library. The method further comprises screening the library to identify mutations yielding an improved activity of multi-protein system of interest in an expression system and introducing the screened mutations into the crop.

Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods provided herein determine a metric for brand vitality (VIT) for social media content. VIT is a unique score for each post of social media content that acts as a proxy for impact on consumers. By avoiding the need to conduct costly consumer research for each brand or marketing campaign on social media, the determination of VIT provides a cost-effective and automated yet still meaningful assessment of the reach and exposure of the brand or marketing campaign. Importantly, the determination of VIT is scalable in a way that polling and consumer research is not.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant Deinococcus bacterium comprising a heterologous biosynthetic pathway converting lycopene to astaxanthin or a precursor thereof, and its use for producing astaxanthin or a precursor thereof. Shown is the production of carotene, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin and astaxanthin using recombinant Deinococcus expressing genes encoding for lycopene cylase (EC 5.5.1.19), beta-carotene hydroxylase (EC1.14.13.129) and beta-carotene ketolase, namely carotenoid-4,4-beta-ionone ring oxygenase (EC 1.14.11.B16).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant Deinococcus bacterium exhibiting enhanced 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate/1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (MEP/DXP) pathway, and its use for producing terpene or terpenoid compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel enzymes and the uses thereof. The invention also relates to methods of producing such enzymes, coding nucleic acid molecules, recombinant cells and methods of modifying biomass from such materials. The invention is particularly suited to degrade biomass and/or to improve biomass degradation. The invention also relates to various applications of the enzymes of the invention for the production of bioenergy (such as bioethanol), as well as in the field of chemistry, paper industry, textile industry and beverage industry.
