The present disclosure generally relates to methods for the recovery of amines from aqueous mixtures. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods for separating amines from amine-containing aqueous mixtures by adjusting the pH of the aqueous mixture relative to the highest pKa value for the amines.
Abstract:
Methods for increasing carbon-based chemical product yield in an organism by increasing carbon uptake and/or altering a pathway to or from an overflow metabolite in the organism, nonnaturally occurring organisms having increased carbon-based chemical product yield with increased carbon uptake and/or an altered pathway to or from an overflow metabolite, and methods for producing a carbon-based chemical product with these organisms are provided.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to strategies for in vivo production of certain carbon-based products, for example, aminated aliphatic compounds having a carbon chain length of C5-C19. Specifically, 7-aminoheptanoic acid is produced using a transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum from pimelate semialdehyde using alanine, GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) or 6-ACA as amino donors.
Abstract:
Methods and materials for the production of hydroxy fatty acid anions, including 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (2-HIBA), and/or derivatives thereof and compounds related thereto are provided. Also provided are products produced in accordance with these methods and materials.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, and hosts for synthesizing hydrocarbons, and derivatives thereof, comprising one or more isoprene units as well as salts or derivatives thereof. An aspect of the present invention thus relates to a method for biosynthesizing hydrocarbons in a recombinant host selected from non-pathogenic members of the genera Ralstonia, Wausteria, Cupriavidus, Alcaligenes, Burkholderia, or Pandoraea. Said recombinant host comprises an exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide having an enzyme activity selected from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS) activity (EC 2.2.1.7) and isoprene synthase enzyme activity (EC 4.2.3.27).

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 CO 2 /H 2 , H 2 , 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 H 2 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 7-aminoheptanoic acid using a β-ketoacyl synthase or a β-keioihiolase to form an N-acetyl-5-amino-3- oxopentanoyl-CoA intermediate. 7-aminoheptanoic acid can be enzymatieally converted to pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof. This document also describes recombinant microorganisms producing 7-aminoheptanoic acid as well as pimelic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol or corresponding salts thereof.
