PATENT ABSTRACTS

5482846 ETHANOL PRODUCTION IN GRAM-POSITIVE MICROBES Ingram Lonnie O’Neal; Barbosa-Alleyne Maria D F Gainesville, FL, UNITED STATES assigned to University of Florida The subject invention concerns the transformation of Gram-positive bacteria with heterologous genes which confer upon these microbes the ability to produce ethanol as a fermentation product. Specifically exemplified is the transformation of bacteria with genes, obtainable from Zymomonas mobilis, which encode pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase.

A deodorant composition comprising a body odor suppressing effective amount of an inhibitor of an amino acid B-lyase enzyme which catalyazes the formation of human body malodor, wherein the inhibitor is a compound of the formula NH2-C(CH3) (COOH)-CHZSR where R is a hydrogen, phenyl; C 1-C8 alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by a phenyl a hydroxy group, a benzyloxy or benzyloxycarbonyl group, a halogen or an amine group, in a dermatologically acceptable vehicle.

Kronheim Shirley; March Carl J; Conlon Paul; Hopp Thomas Seattle, WA, UNITED STATES assigned to Immunex Corporation Interleukin 1 has been purified by use of various techniques including ion exchange chromatography and dye-ligand affinity chromatography. By these techniques, interleukin 1 has been purified to homogeneity. The high purification of interleukin 1 has enabled the amino acid composition of this protein to be ascertained and its amino acid sequence to be partially determined. 5487886 AMINO ACID BETA-LYASE ENZYME INHIBITORS AS DEODORANTS Lyon Sue B; O’Neal Cliffor; Van Der Lee

SYNTHESIS OF ADIPIC ACID FROM BIOMASS-DERIVED CARBON SOURCES Frost John; Draths Karen West Lafayette, IN, UNITED STATES assigned to Purdue Research Foundation A method is provided for producing adipic acid. The method comprises the steps of culturing a cell transformant capable of converting a carbon source to catechol for a period of time sufficient to convert said carbon source to catechol, biocatalytically converting the catechol to cis, cis-muconic acid using catechol 1,2_dioxygenase, and hydrogenating the cis, cis-muconic acid to produce adipic acid. Also provided is a heterologous transformant of the host cell having an endangeous common pathway of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. The heterologous transformant is characterized by the constitutive expression of structural genes encoding 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase, protocatechuate decarboxylase, and catechol 1,2-dioxygenase.
