  • MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR THE CONTINUOUS CO-PRODUCTION OF HIGH-VALUE, SPECIALIZED PROTEINS AND CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FROM C1-SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20250171823
    Abstract: Microorganisms are genetically engineered to continuously co-produce amino acids, high-value, specialized proteins, microbial biomass, chemicals, or any combination thereof by microbial fermentation, particularly by microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate. The microorganisms are C1-fixing. The production of ethylene, microbial biomass, and heterologous high-value, specialized proteins can be improved. This can be improved by varying promoters or nutrient limiting means.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 11, 2025
    Publication date: May 29, 2025
    Inventors: Sean Dennis Simpson, Michael Koepke, James MacAllister Clomburg, Juniper Dee Gramling, Stephanie Rhianon Jones, Jaeyoung Jung, Timothy James Politano, Ryan Christopher Tappel

  • MICROORGANISMS AND METHODS FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF FATTY ACIDS, FATTY ALCOHOLS, AND CULTURED PROTEIN FROM C1 SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20250027121
    Abstract: Microorganisms are genetically engineered to continuously produce fatty acids, fatty alcohols, cultured protein, or any combination thereof by microbial fermentation, particularly by microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate. The microorganisms are C1-fixing. The production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and cultured proteins can be improved. This can be improved by varying promoters or nutrient limiting means.

  • PRODUCTION OF POLYHYDROXYBUTYRATE IN WOOD-LJUNGDAHL MICROORGANISMS
    Publication number: 20220213517
    Abstract: The invention provides microorganisms and methods for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from gaseous substrates. In particular, the invention provides a non-naturally occurring Wood-Ljungdahl microorganism comprising (a) an enzyme that converts acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA, (b) an enzyme that converts acetoacetyl-CoA to 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, and (c) an enzyme that converts 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to polyhydroxybutyrate, and methods related thereto.
