Production of Value-Added Chemicals by Bacillus methanolicus Strains Cultivated on Mannitol and Extracts of Seaweed Saccharina latissima at 50C

https://www.sintef.no/en/publications/publication/?pubid=CRIStin+1810925

The facultative methylotroph Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 has previously been genetically engineered to overproduce the amino acids L-lysine and L-glutamate and their derivatives cadaverine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from methanol at 50◦C. We here explored the potential of utilizing the sugar alco...

Lipid and DHA-production in Aurantiochytrium sp. – Responses to nitrogen starvation and oxygen limitation revealed by analyses of production kinetics and global transcriptomes

https://www.sintef.no/en/publications/publication/?pubid=CRIStin+1765574

Thraustochytrids of the genera Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium accumulate oils rich in the essential, marine n3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA production in Aurantiochytrium sp T66 was studied with the aim to provide more knowledge about factors that affect the DHA-productivities and...

Industrial applications of different strains of Bacillus spp. isolated from decayed wood

https://www.sintef.no/en/publications/publication/?pubid=CRIStin+1729428

This work has been focused on the isolation and characterization of microorganism from decayed wood. 357 bacterial species were isolated from different wood samples and European locations. 25% of them belong to the Bacillus genus, which are known as producer metabolites and enzymes suitable for bior...

Genome annotation and transcriptome analysis of the lipid- and DHA-accumulating Aurantiochytrium sp. T66

https://www.sintef.no/en/publications/publication/?pubid=CRIStin+1721175

Thraustochytrids of the genera Schizochytrium and Aurantiochytrium accumulate oils rich in the essential, marine n3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As part of studies of the DHA-production in Aurantiochytrium sp. T66 (ATCC® PRA-276™), the 43 Mbp draft genome was annotated based on ab-ini...
