  • MODIFIED PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROORGANISMS FOR PRODUCING TRIGLYCERIDES
    Publication number: 20100081178
    Abstract: This disclosure describes genetically modified photosynthetic microorganisms, including Cyanobacteria, that contain one or more exogenous genes encoding a diacylglycerol acyltransferase, a phosphatidate phosphatase, and/or an acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and which are capable of producing increased amounts of fatty acids and/or synthesizing triglycerides.

  • Essential and important genes of and the use thereof to design or identify antibacterial agents
    Patent number: 7629141
    Abstract: The invention includes a database of candidate essential genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as other important genes that, when mutated, lead to a growth attenuated phenotype. Such genes and mutants of such genes are important for identifying antibacterial agents suitable for treating and preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. The invention includes methods for confirming the essentiality or importance of candidate genes, as well as methods for utilizing those genes to screen for new antibacterial drugs. The invention also includes the antibacterial agents identified using the disclosed methods, as well as methods of using the same for treating and preventing Pseudomonas infection.

  • Random transposon insertion in staphylococcus aureus and use thereof to identify essential genes
    Publication number: 20060234233
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for generating a database of candidate essential genes in Staphylococcus aureus, as well as otherwise important genes that, when mutated, lead to a growth attenuated phenotype. Such genes and mutants of such genes are important for identifying antibacterial agents suitable for treating and preventing S. aureus infections. The invention includes methods for confirming the essentiality or importance of candidate genes, as well as methods for utilizing those genes to screen for new antibacterial drugs. The invention also includes the antibacterial agents identified using the disclosed methods, as well as methods of using the same for treating and preventing Staphylococcus infection.
