  • Methods and compositions for the production of fatty acids in photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganisms
    Patent number: 9359623
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the production of renewable fatty acids from photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganisms, such as a blue green algae, any specie of the phylum Cyanophyta, a chloroplast of a green algae and/or a Cyanobacterium. Engineered or natural strains of these organisms or organelles can be used to produce both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with variable chain length specificity from 8-18 carbons. The fatty acids can then be secreted into the culture medium, allowing for rapid, continuous and efficient separation of fatty acid product without harvesting of cell mass.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2016
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Steve A. Kay, Ewa Lis, Susan Golden, Michael Melnick, Dawn M. Adin, James W. Golden
