Zailu LI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11999957
    Abstract: A method of enhancing vanillin resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including: knocking out SNG1 gene from a genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This application further provides a mutant of SNG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae including the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, where the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, from left to right, consists of a ?18˜+203 bp fragment of SNG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a nucleotide fragment of loxp-KanMX4-loxp and a +1446˜+1644 bp fragment of the SNG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11359177
    Abstract: The present invention further discloses an application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the fermentation of a second generation fuel, ethanol, with a straw lignocellulose biomass hydrolysate as a raw material. Experiments prove that the strain of the prevent invention has an efficient co-fermentation capacity of C6/C5 while tolerating multiple inhibitors, and can consume all the glucose and xylose to produce ethanol; and the sugar-alcohol conversion rate is up to 0.43 g g?1. The strain and screening strategy used in the present invention provide technical reference and basis for the further breeding of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain which has a superior fermenting property and is produced by the second generation fuel, ethanol.
