Abstract: Genes encoding mutant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases are introduced into host cells. Certain of the mutants enhance the production of shorter-chain fatty acids and derivatives by the cell than do the wild-type (unmutated) enzymes. In other cases, the chain length is not significantly affected, but productivity is enhanced. In specific cases, both a shift toward lower chain length and higher productivity is seen. Cells producing the mutant 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases are especially suitable for producing C6-C10 fatty acids and derivatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96 as deposited at DSMZ on 4 May 2006 and designated accession no. DSM 1823 8. The present invention also relates to substances obtained or derived from Yersinia entomophaga MH96, which retain biopesticide activity. Methods for protecting a plant from pest infestation which include applying to the plant or its environment an effective amount of Yersinia entomophaga MH96 or a product delivered from the bacterium are also described.

Abstract: A recombinant cell for producing a fatty acid ester. The recombinant cell is genetically engineered to produce a reduction in free fatty acids compared to a cell that has not been similarly genetically engineered. Methods for producing fatty acid esters while decreasing free fatty acid production are also described.

Abstract: A heat transfer system includes a fuel cell module that produces heat and water, and a thermal energy storage module that stores the heat produced by the fuel cell module. The thermal energy storage module includes a phase-change material. A conduit couples the fuel cell module to the thermal energy storage module. The conduit is oriented to channel the water produced by the fuel cell module through the thermal energy storage module.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide a system and method for task completion using a digital assistant. Natural language data input is received and user intent associated with the natural language data input is identified. A structured query is generated for the natural language data input based on the identified user intent. A response to the structured query is received from a search engine and a determination is made as to whether the response includes one or more results. A result is selected for task completion based at least in part on user context, in response to a determination that the response includes one or more results.
