The invention relates to a genetically modified microorganism for making a oligosaccharide, preferably of 3-8 monosaccharide units, more preferably of 3-5 monosaccharide units, particularly a HMO, which comprises one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system, so the microorganism can use sucrose as a carbon and energy source.

The invention relates to a genetically modified microorganism for making a recombinant oligosaccharide, preferably of 3-8 monosaccharide units, more preferably of 3-5 monosaccharide units, particularly a HMO, which comprises one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system, so the microorganism can use sucrose as a carbon and energy source. The one or more genes encoding a sucrose utilization system are preferably one or more genes encoding a heterologous PTS-dependent sucrose utilization transport system, such as the scr genes.

Disclosed herein are methods for producing tulipalin A (-methylene--butyrolactone), recombinant cells or organisms for producing tulipalin A, enzymes needed for producing tulipalin A, and nucleic acids for expression of those enzymes.

Microorganisms are genetically engineered to continuously produce fatty acids, fatty alcohols, cultured protein, or any combination thereof by microbial fermentation, particularly by microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate. The microorganisms are C1-fixing. The production of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and cultured proteins can be improved. This can be improved through the expression of 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP:CoA transacylases.
