  • Method for counterselection in microorganisms
    Patent number: 11299753
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods of scarless genomic engineering in microorganisms, such as Bacillus, and provides for new molecular tools and methods which enable scarless genetic editing using at least one counterselectable marker that has been codon optimized for the microorganism. The disclosure allows for the high-throughput introduction of stable genetic edits to a genome using either plasmid or linear DNA constructs for genetic engineering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: Zymergen Inc.
    Inventors: Tara F. Mahoney, Amanda Renae Reider Apel, Paloma Rueda Romero
