Filed:

Dec 18, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/789598

Inventors:

- Heerlen, NL

Peter Louis HOUSTON - Boston MA, US

International Classification:

C12N 9/20
C12P 23/00
C12Q 1/44

Abstract:

The present invention is related to a retinoid-producing host cell, particularly oleaginous yeast, modified such that the percentage of retinyl acetate based on the total retinoids produced by such host cell is increased during fermentation using triglyceride oils, like for example vegetable oil, as carbon source, wherein the activity of certain endogenous hydrolases or transferases involved in undesired conversions of retinol or retinol acetate is reduced or abolished. Particularly, such modified host cell might be useful in a biotechnological process for production of vitamin A.

International Classification:

C12N 9/10
C12P 19/44

Abstract:

The present invention provides genetically engineered host organisms capable of producing terpenoids. The present invention also relates terpenoids obtained from such genetically engineered organisms. Examples of the produced terpenoids include carotenoids, ionones, abienol, and other isoprenoid derived compounds. In addition, the invention relates to a methods of for the preparation of terpenoids using such a genetically engineered organism.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

Abstract:

A set of proof correlation processes for identifying the two equal-length ranges (corresponding to time periods) contained within two discrete time data series (one range per series) that exhibit the highest correlation score when evaluated by a method that mimic how humans visually assess and score correlation is disclosed. The set of proof correlation processes include scoring the strength of correlation exhibited by ranges of data values corresponding to time periods and within two discrete time data series, and determining the number of time intervals that the variable series must be shifted (either forward or backward in time) with respect to the static series to exhibit the maximum correlation score for the given range pairs.
