Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8702984A1] A method for genetically engineering microbial strains which produce amino acids and other specialty chemicals comprising the molecular cloning of DNA chromosome fragments of the total genes involved in the biosynthesis of said chemicals and by genetic engineering, and/or mutation, removal of all biochemical and genetic regulation controlling the synthesis of such chemicals. Use may be made of a vector DNA molecule capable of providing amplification of the hybrid DNA construct containing the genes required for the biosynthesis of said chemicals. The resulting hybrid DNA molecule or biogenetic cassette is useful for transforming cells of an appropriate recipient strain capable of increased productivity of said chemicals. Also disclosed is a method of making a biogenetic cassette for catabolic pathways, including methanol utilization. Combination biogenetic cassettes, permitting, for example, the biosynthesis of a particular amino acid using methanol as a feedstock are also disclosed.
