20130095542 | ENGINEERED MICROORGANISMS AND INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR PRODUCING N-PROPANOL, PROPYLENE AND POLYPROPYLENE - The invention provides fermentative methods for producing n-propanol. The methods of the invention involve providing a suitable carbon source, a microorganism expressing the dicarboxylic acid pathway, reducing equivalents, and at least one gene coding for an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of propionate/propionyl-CoA into n-propanol. The methods further involve contacting the carbon source and reducing equivalents with the microorganism under conditions favorable for the production of n-propanol. Also provided are methods for producing propylene and polypropylene from the n-propanol and microorganisms suitable for use in the methods of the invention. | 04-18-2013 |

20150064759 | MODIFIED MICROORGANISM AND METHODS OF USING SAME FOR PRODUCING 2-PROPANOL AND1-PROPANOL AND/OR 1,2-PROPANEDIOL - The present disclosure provides a non-naturally occurring microorganism comprising: one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more enzymes in a pathway that produces acetyl-CoA; one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more enzymes in a pathway that catalyze a conversion of cytosolic acetyl-CoA to 2-propanol; one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more enzymes in a pathway that catalyze a conversion of dihydroxyacetone-phosphate to 1-propanol and/or 1,2-propanediol, wherein the microorganism has reduced levels of pyruvate decarboxylase enzymatic activity (e.g., the microorganism comprises a disruption of one or more enzymes that decarboxylate pyruvate and/or a disruption of one or more transcription factors of one or more enzymes that decarboxylate pyruvate), and wherein the microorganism is capable of growing on a C6 sugar as a sole carbon source under anaerobic conditions. Also provided are methods of using the disclosed non-naturally occurring microorganisms in methods for the coproduction of 2-propanol and 1-propanol and/or 1,2-propanediol. | 03-05-2015 |
