  • Processes and recombinant microorganisms for the production of cadaverine
    Patent number: 9745608
    Abstract: Recombinant microorganisms comprising DNA molecules in a deregulated form which improve the production of cadaverine or N-acetylcadaverine, as well as recombinant DNA molecules and polypeptides used to produce the microorganisms are provided. Said microorganisms comprise an intracellular lysine decarboxylase activity and a deregulated cadaverine export activity, or comprise a decreased cadaverine export activity and an enhanced N-acetylcadaverine forming activity. Processes for the production of cadaverine N-acetylcadaverine using the recombinant microorganisms are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 20, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2017
    Assignee: BASF SE
    Inventors: Christoph Wittmann, Stefanie Kind
  • Processes and recombinant microorganisms for the production of fine chemicals
    Patent number: 9644220
    Abstract: Recombinant microorganisms with deregulated succinyl-CoA synthetase activity, as well as the uses for producing lysine, ?-lysine, cadaverine or N-acetylcadaverine thereby are provided. Recombinant polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence being at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 51 or 53 are also provided. The method of producing fine chemicals using said recombinant microorganisms, in particular the method of producing lysine, or derivatives thereof, such as ?-lysine, cadaverine or N-acetylcadaverine is further provided.
