Sioux Falls Business Journal features US Patent 8,993,303 on genetically engineered Anabaena
Concerning US '303:
•Title: Genetically engineered cyanobacteria
•Inventors: Ruanbao Zhou and William Gibbons, both of Brookings
•Assigned: South Dakota State University, Brookings
•Summary: Zhou and Gibbons have developed an alteration of bacteria that more efficiently produces substances like ethanol.
First claim:
A composition comprising an Anabaena spp. genetically engineered with at least one recombinant polynucleotide expression construct, wherein the at least one recombinant polynucleotide expression construct comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding at least one enzyme, wherein the at least one enzyme increases production of a carbon based product of interest by the genetically engineered Anabaena spp. following expression of the polynucleotide expression construct, wherein said Anabaena spp. is ethanol producing Anabaena sp. PCC7120 (pZR672) strain deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-12833 or is linalool producing Anabaena sp. PCC7120 (pZR808) strain deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-12832.

From the specification:
The present disclosure includes compositions and methods for the production of carbon based products of interest using genetically modified cyanobacteria such as Anabaena spp. In certain embodiments, the Anabaena spp. are Anabaena PCC7120, Anabaena cylindrica 29414, or Anabaena variabilis ATCC29413. In one aspect of the disclosure, the Anabaena spp. is the ethanol producing Anabaena sp. PCC7120 (pZR672) strain deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-12833 or the linalool producing Anabaena sp. PCC7120 (pZR808) strain deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-12832. Generally the Anabaena spp. is genetically engineered by expression of at least one recombinant polynucleotide expression construct comprising an enzyme capable of increasing production of a carbon based product of interest.
