Abstract:
This application describes non-naturally occurring host cells for enhanced 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO) production, methods for producing 1,3-BDO using such non-naturally occurring host cells, and 1,3-BDO products produced by such non-naturally occurring host cells and methods.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA by forming one or two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl or hydroxyl group, in a C5 backbone substrate such as glutaryl-CoA, glutaryl-[acp] or glutarate methyl ester. 2,4-pentadienoyl-CoA can be enzymatically converted to 1,3-butadiene.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes biocatalytic processes for producing a product, comprising providing an aqueous stream (AS) comprising at least one fermentable substrate and a gaseous stream (GS) comprising at least one of CO2/H2, H2, methane, and/or CO to a fermentation zone, wherein the GS and AS stream are optionally contacted and/or mixed; the fermentation zone comprising at least one organism capable of metabolizing an AS substrate and a GS substrate, wherein the fermentation operates at conditions to mixotrophically metabolize at least one gaseous substrate in the GS and at least one substrate in the AS, producing the product. The present disclosure also describes compositions comprising an AS, a GS, and an organism, wherein the organism or an equivalent or engineered equivalent thereof is a methanotroph or a hydrogen-metabolizing or CO-metabolizing chemolithotrophic organism, and wherein the organism is capable of mixotrophic metabolism of at least one gaseous substrate in the GS and at least one substrate in the AS. The present disclosure also describes a process wherein said fermentation operates at conditions to mixotrophically metabolize at least H2 in the gaseous stream and glycerol and lactic acid in the aqueous stream. The present disclosure also describes a system for producing a fermentation or bio-derived product.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing butadiene by forming two vinyl groups in a butadiene synthesis substrate. These pathways described herein rely on enzymes such as, inter alia, a decarboxylating thioesterase, cytochrome P450, or dehydratases for the final enzymatic step.
Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways that include the production of 3-oxopent-4-enoyl-CoA by condensation of acryloyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA using a β-ketothiolase with a SER-HIS-HIS catalytic triad. These pathways described herein rely on enzymes such as, inter alia, dehydrogenases, dehydratases and β-ketothiolases.
