Microorganisms and methods for the production of fatty acids and fatty acid derived products

This invention relates to metabolically engineered microorganism strains, such as bacterial strains, in which there is an increased utilization of malonyl-CoA for production of a fatty acid or fatty acid derived product, wherein the modified microorganism produces fatty acyl-CoA intermediates via a malonyl-CoA dependent but malonyl-ACP independent mechanism.

Methods for identifying interactions amongst microorganisms

Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, and systems for determining specific microbial taxa, within a complex consortia of mixed taxa, which are interacting with each other in an environment of interest. In some embodiments, after diluting a sample comprising multiple different taxa of microorganisms, dilutions of the sample are cultivated for determining taxonomic information and interactions of multiple taxa of microorganisms in the sample.

Synthesis of bioproducts from lignin-derived aromatics by genetically modified microorganisms

The present invention provides for a method of converting a depolymerized lignin aromatic compound into a bioproduct, comprising: (a) providing a composition comprising a depolymerized lignin aromatic compound, optionally a depolymerized cellulose, and optionally a depolymerized hemicellulose, and (b) introducing a genetically modified microorganism to the composition, wherein the genetically modified microorganism is capable of converting the depolymerized lignin aromatic compound into a bioproduct; such that the depolymerized lignin aromatic compound is converted into a bioproduct.

Engineered microorganisms for the production of intermediates and final products

The present disclosure relates to a non-naturally occurring microorganism that includes an endogenous genetic deletion that eliminates the expression of at least a pyruvate kinase, where the genetically modified prokaryotic microorganism is capable of producing 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate.

Blodgett Forest CA Warming Experiment phospholipid fatty acid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers data 2018 from: "Whole-soil warming decreases abundance and modifies the community structure of microorganisms in the subsoil but not in surface soil".

This data package contains phospholipid fatty acid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers data used for the paper: “Whole-soil warming decreases abundance and modifies the community structure of microorganisms in the subsoil but not in surface soil”. SOIL, https://doi.org/10.5194/soil-2021-14.On April 2018 (after 4.5 years of warming), we collected soil cores down to 90 cm depth from the whole soil profile warming experiment at the University of California Blodgett Forest Research Station, in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Georgetown, CA at 1370 m above sea level. Cores were collected from 6 experimental plots (three replicated blocks); samples were collected in 10 cm increments from 0 to 90 cm depth.This data package includes a file in .csv format and a file in .xlsx format, which can be accessed and processed using MS Excel or R. Phospholipid fatty acid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers concentrations are provided as processed data files.
