US Patent:
20140142314, May 22, 2014
Filed:
Nov 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/080024
Inventors:
Jixun Zhan - North Logan UT, US
Assignee:
UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY - North Logan UT
International Classification:
C12P 17/16
C07D 213/90
US Classification:
546257, 4352523, 435118
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for an expression system for the production of blue pigment indigoidine. The system comprises a heterologous host cell, a DNA sequence encoding a Sc-IndB protein, and a DNA sequence encoding a Sc-IndC protein. The system may be configured for the co-expression of the Sc-IndB and Sc-IndC. DNA sequences encoding the Sc-IndB and Sc-IndC may be provided on at least one vector. Alternatively, the DNA sequences encoding the Sc-IndB and Sc-IndC may optionally be integrated into the genome of the heterologous host genome. The expression system may further comprise a sfp gene or a PPTase.
