A genetically modified microorganism includes: an exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO), wherein the endogenous icd gene of the genetically modified microorganism is knocked out, in which the endogenous icd gene encodes isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), and wherein the genetically modified microorganism is capable of using glutamic acid and/or a salt thereof as a nitrogen source to grow and producing indigo dye.

The present invention provides an intranasal glioblastoma therapy with purified perillyl alcohol. Patients with recurrent glioblastoma when treated with perillyl alcohol purified by the disclosed methods showed improved survival when compared to historical controls. Glioblastoma patients with an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)-mutation showed improved survival when compared with wild-type IDH patients.

This disclosure relates to the production and use of an isolated, purified and/or recombinant T cell receptor (TCR) that specifically binds to a mutant IDH1 protein, or a fragment thereof, wherein the mutant IDH1 protein or fragment thereof comprises an R132H mutation.

Recombinant microorganisms, plants, and plant cells are disclosed that have been engineered to have reduced levels or activity of one or more alcohol dehydrogenases or aldehyde reductases thereby increasing the production of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and/or benzylisoquinoline alkaloid precursors.

The present invention relates to a method for producing various metabolites from a gas-phase alkane compound using a Methylomonas sp. DH-1 strain, deposited under Accession Number KCTC18400P, or a transformant thereof. The method provided in the present invention enables more effective production of various metabolites from a gaseous alkane compound compared to the conventional method using methanotrophic bacteria, and thus, the method of the present invention can be widely used for production of a target material using a bioreactor.

The present disclosure provides an Escherichia coli transformant and a method for producing itaconate using the Escherichia coli transformant.

This invention relates to a novel approach for the identification and stratification of subtypes of cancer, particularly subtypes of cancer characterized by an increased expression of BCAT1, particularly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The invention furthermore relates to a novel approach with respect to the treatment of cancer, particularly subtypes of cancer characterized by an increased expression of BCAT1, particularly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

The present application relates to methods to improve biomass or lipid production in a microorganism from one or more fatty acid and one or more simple carbon co-substrates. Produced lipids may include unsaturated C.sub.6-C.sub.24 fatty acids, alcohols, aldehydes, and acetates which may be useful as final products or precursors to insect pheromones, fragrances, flavors, and polymer intermediates. The application further relates to recombinant microorganisms modified for improved production of biomass or lipid, or improved lipid selectivity. Also provided are methods of producing one or more lipid using the recombinant microorganisms, as well as compositions comprising the recombinant microorganisms and/or optionally one or more of the product lipid.
