Polypeptides And Biosynthetic Pathways For The Production Of Stereoisomers Of Monatin And Their Precursors
view source
US Patent:

8076108, Dec 13, 2011
Filed:

Mar 6, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/714279
Inventors:

Brian J. Brazeau - Oskaloosa IA, US
Mervyn L. De Souza - Plymouth MN, US
Steven J. Gort - Brooklyn Center MN, US
Paula M. Hicks - Eden Prairie MN, US
Sherry R. Kollmann - Maple Grove MN, US
Jose M. Laplaza - Plymouth MN, US
Sara C. McFarlan - St. Paul MN, US
Fernando A. Sanchez-Riera - Eden Prairie MN, US
Christopher Solheid - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:

Cargill, Incorporated - Wayzata MN
International Classification:

C12P 17/10
US Classification:

435121, 435108, 435193
Abstract:

Monatin and certain stereoisomers of monatin, such as R,R monatin and S,R monatin, as well as salts thereof, are produced using polypeptides and biosynthetic pathways. These polypeptides and biosynthetic pathways are also useful in the production of R-2-hydroxy-2-(indoly-3-ylmethyl)-4-keto glutaric acid, an intermediate that is formed in certain monatin synthesis pathways, including some biosynthetic pathways.

International Classification:

C12P 13/12
C12N 1/20
US Classification:

435113, 43525233
Abstract:

Described herein are microorganisms that produce methionine and related products from endogenous genes in a transsulfuration pathway, as well as from exogenous genes providing a direct sulfhydrylation pathway. Novel genes that are useful for methionine and SAMe production are disclosed.

US Patent:

20120178967, Jul 12, 2012
Filed:

May 29, 2010
Appl. No.:

13/375058
Inventors:

Todd Banner - Ottumwa IA, US
John Bohlmann - Ottumwa IA, US
Brian Brazeau - Oskaloosa IA, US
Paul Loucks - Blakesburg IA, US
Shannon Shriver - Pella IA, US
Shuang Zhou - Oskaloosa IA, US
Assignee:

CARGILL, INCORPORATED - Wayzata MN
International Classification:

C07C 59/76
B01D 3/10
B01D 3/14
US Classification:

562577, 203 71, 203 80
Abstract:

Systems and methods for producing levulinic acid from fungal biomass are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for distilling levulinic acid from a glucosamine-containing feedstock is disclosed that yields a relatively pure (e.g., 90% or greater) levulinic acid product from an otherwise problematic waste stream.
