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

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

The present disclosure provides methods of modulating the flux of carbon through the monoethylene glycol (MEG) biosynthesis pathway and one or more C3 compound biosynthesis pathways by expressing enzymes that are essential for improving C3 compounds and modulating other genetic aspects of MEG and C3 compound biosynthesis. The disclosure is further drawn to modified microbes comprising the disrupted sequences and overexpressed sequences, and compositions thereof.

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having the ability to produce poly(lactate-co-glycolate) and its copolymers from xylose, and more particularly to a recombinant microorganism having the ability to produce poly(lactate-co-glycolate) and its copolymers without having to supply a glycolate precursor from an external source, and a method of producing a poly(lactate-co-glycolate) copolymers using the same.

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism capable of producing 2,4-dihydroxybutyrate, which is characterized by an increased cellular export, and preferably by a decreased cellular import, of said 2,4 DHB. The invention also relates to a method for the optimized productionof 2,4-dihydroxybutyrate by culturing said microorganism in a fermentation medium and recovering 2,4-DHB from said medium.

This disclosure describes a recombinant microbial cells and methods of making and using such recombinant microbial cells. Generally, the recombinant cells may be modified to exhibit increased biosynthesis of a TCA derivative compared to a wild-type control. In some embodiments, the TCA derivative can include 1,4-butanediol. In various embodiments, the microbial cell is a fungal cell or a bacterial cell. In some embodiments, the increased biosynthesis of the TCA derivative can include an increase in xylose dehydrogenase activity, xylonolactonase activity, xylonate dehydratase activity, or 2-keto-3-deoxyaldonic acid dehydratase activity.
