The present invention is concerned with materials and methods for the production of genetically modified plants, particularly where the plants are for the production of at least one unsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acid. The invention is also concerned with identification of genes conveying an unsaturated fatty acid metabolic property to a plant or plant cell, and generally relates to the field of phosphotidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT).

The disclosure relates to recombinant host cells including strain modifications effective to improve titer, yield and/or productivity of fatty acid derivatives. The disclosure further relates to cell cultures including the recombinant host cells for the fermentative production of fatty acid derivatives and compositions thereof.

The invention provides recombinant host organisms (e.g., plants) genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins (e.g., PPTase and/or ACoAS) that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The present invention also relates to methods of making and using such organisms (e.g., to obtain PUFAs) as well as products obtained from such organisms (e.g., oil and/or seed).

Disclosed herein are reactions, methods, reagents and compositions that utilize a nonheme iron halogenase enzyme to prepare compounds.

The disclosure relates to recombinant microorganisms for the production of fatty amines and derivatives thereof. Further contemplated are cultured recombinant host cells as well as methods of producing fatty amines by employing these host cells.

The present invention relates to an inhibitor of sphingolipids for use in the treatment or prevention of an aging related-disease and/or aging.

The present disclosure provides engineered bacteria for producing vanillin.

Provided herein are host cells capable of producing hybrid oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, wherein said hybrid oligosaccharides and polysaccharides do not comprise a hexose at the reducing end of their first repeat unit. Also provided herein are hybrid oligosaccharides or polysaccharides and bioconjugates which can be produced by the host cells described herein, wherein said bioconjugates comprise a carrier protein linked to a hybrid oligosaccharide or polysaccharide that does not comprise a hexose at the reducing end of its first repeat unit.

Provided is a surface expression vector having pgsA, a gene encoding poly-gamma-glutamate synthetase, and a method of expressing a target protein on the microbial surface using the vector. The vector having foreign genes inserted therein is transformed into a microorganism and allows a foreign protein to be stably expressed on the surface of the microorganism.

The invention provides recombinant host organisms genetically modified with a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthase system and one or more accessory proteins that allow for and/or improve the production of PUFAs in the host organism. The present invention also relates to methods of making and using such organisms as well as products obtained from such organisms.
