PLANTS PRODUCING MODIFIED LEVELS OF MEDIUM CHAIN FATTY ACIDS
The present invention relates to methods of producing industrial products from plant lipids, particularly from vegetative parts of plants. In particular, the present invention provides oil products such as biofuel, and processes for producing these products, as well as plants having an increased level medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid and myristic acid. In one particular embodiment, the present invention relates to combinations of modifications in a fatty acid thioesterase and one or more acyltransferases. In an embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for extracting lipids. In another embodiment, the lipid is converted to one or more hydrocarbon products in harvested plant vegetative parts to produce alkyl esters of the fatty acids which are suitable for use as a renewable biofuel.
Acid-tolerant yeast cell, method of producing organic acid using the same, and method of producing the yeast cell
Provided is an acid-tolerant yeast cell, a method of producing an organic acid by using the yeast cell, and a method of producing the yeast cell resistant to acid.
DGAT genes from yarrowia lipolytica for increased seed storage lipid production and altered fatty acid profiles in soybean
Transgenic soybean seed having increased total fatty acid content of at least 10% and altered fatty acid profiles when compared to the total fatty acid content of non-transgenic, null segregant soybean seed are described. DGAT genes from Yarrowia Lipolytica are used to achieve the increase in seed storage lipids.
ACID-TOLERANT YEAST CELL, METHOD OF PRODUCING ORGANIC ACID USING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE YEAST CELL
Provided is an acid-tolerant yeast cell, a method of producing an organic acid by using the yeast cell, and a method of producing the yeast cell resistant to acid.
Ricinoleate Oil Production and Uses Thereof
Provided herein are triglyceride oil compositions enriched in ricinoleic acid. Further provided herein are methods of producing non-naturally occurring triglyceride oil compositions enriched in ricinoleic acid from non-naturally occurring microorganisms and applications thereof in a variety of end products, including, for example, polyols, polyurethane products, lubricants, personal care products, and food products.
