| 20080233617 | Process for the Preparation of a Aspartate and Derived Amino Acids Like Lysine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Methionine, or Homoserine Employing Microorganism with Enhanced Isocitrate Lyase and/or Malate Synthase Expression - The present invention relates to increasing the product of aspartate or aspartate-derived metabolites by boosting the activity of the glyoxylate shunt. This is accomplished by increasing the activity of glyoxylate shunt specific enzymes and decreasing the activity of reactions consuming glyoxylate and its precursors. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090239269 | METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF L-AMINO ACID - A bacterium which belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and has an ability to produce an L-amino acid such as L-lysine, L-threonine and L-tryptophan and is modified to enhance glutamic acid decarboxylase activity is cultured in a medium to produce and accumulate the L-amino acid in the medium or cells of the bacterium. Then, the L-amino acid is collected from the medium or the cells. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100112647 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ACIDIC SUBSTANCE HAVING A CARBOXYL GROUP - An acidic substance having a carboxyl group is produced by culturing in a medium a microorganism which has been modified to enhance expression of the ybjL gene, and collecting the acidic substance having a carboxyl group from the medium. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110183382 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PRODUCING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS FROM C. PHYTOFERMENTANS - This invention provides systems and methods for the production of compounds by | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110201061 | Process For Hydrolysis Of Wet Fiber And Method For Producing Fermentation Products From Wet Fiber - Disclosed are a method of hydrolysis of wet fiber and a method for preparing ethanol. Generally, an agricultural plant material, such as corn hulls, distiller's dried grains, or spent germ, is treated to at least partially hydrolyze the fiber. The process may include a maceration step followed by a shearing operation in the presence of steam to yield a treated product, in which, in many embodiments, saccharides will be released and unbound from fibrous portions of the agricultural product. In some embodiments, the process includes macerating the material to provide a slurry having a solids content of at least 10 percent and jet cooking the slurry. A mixture of saccharides prepared in this fashion may be fermented to yield ethanol and/or biochemicals. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110207183 | Production Process for Fine Chemicals Using Microorganisms with Reduced Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Activity - The present invention is directed to a method utilizing a microorganism with reduced isocitrate dehydrogenase activity for the production of fine chemicals. Said fine chemicals may be amino acids, monomers for polymer synthesis, sugars, lipids, oils, fatty acids or vitamins and are preferably amino acids of the aspartate family, especially methionine or lysine, or derivatives of said amino acids, especially cadaverine. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having a reduced isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in comparison to the initial microorganism and the use of such microorganisms in producing fine chemicals such as aspartate family amino acids and their derivatives. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110281311 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING L-AMINO ACID - A bacterium which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae, and has an ability to produce L-lysine, L-threonine, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-methionine, L-alanine, L-isoleucine, and/or L-homoserine. The bacterium has been modified so that expression of the gltP and/or gltS genes is/are increased when cultured in a medium, resulting in the accumulation of the L-amino acid(s) in the medium or bacterial cells. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120329105 | BACTERIUM OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAE FAMILY PRODUCING L-ASPARTIC ACID OR L-ASPARTIC ACID-DERIVED METABOLITES AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING L-ASPARTIC ACID OR L-ASPARTIC ACID-DERIVED METABOLITES - The presently disclosed subject matter provides a bacterium of Enterobacteriaceae family producing L-aspartic acid or an L-aspartic acid-derived metabolite modified to have aspartate dehydrogenase and a method for producing L-aspartic acid or an L-aspartic acid-derived metabolite, such as L-threonine, L-lysine, L-arginine, L-methionine and L-homoserine, using such bacterium. | 12-27-2012 |
| 20140212932 | Methods and compositions for degrading cellulosic material - The present invention relates to enzyme compositions comprising a polypeptide having cellobiohydrolase II activity, a polypeptide having xylanase activity, and one or more cellulolytic proteins and their use in the degradation or conversion of cellulosic material. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140256002 | COMPOSITION FOR BREAKING DOWN L-ASPARAGINE COMPRISING L-ASPARAGINASE, AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR L-ASPARAGINASE - The present invention relates to a composition for breaking down L-asparagine comprising L-asparaginase, and to a production method for L-asparaginase. The L-asparaginase of the present invention differs from existing L-asparaginase in that it has improved heat stability and exhibits high activity even at high temperatures, and thus it improves upon shortcomings of existing L-asparaginase and so can be used to advantage industrially. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20140356915 | INTEGRATED BIOREFINERIES FOR PRODUCTION OF SUGARS, FERMENTATION PRODUCTS, AND COPRODUCTS - Processes are described for fractionating lignocellulosic biomass into cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, comprising fractionating lignocellulosic biomass in the presence of a solvent for lignin (such as ethanol), a hydrolysis catalyst (such as sulfur dioxide), and water, to produce a liquor containing hemicellulose, cellulose-rich solids, and lignin; hydrolyzing the hemicellulose to produce hemicellulosic monomers; saccharifying the cellulose-rich solids to produce glucose; recovering the hemicellulosic monomers and the glucose, separately or in a combined stream, as fermentable sugars; and fermenting the fermentable sugars to a fermentation product having a higher normal boiling point than water. Process integration of mass and/or energy is disclosed in many specific embodiments. The fermentation product may include an organic acid, an alcohol, a diol, or combinations thereof. | 12-04-2014 |
