Atsumi's US application 20150240247: TROPHIC CONVERSION OF PHOTOAUTOTROPHIC BACTERIA FOR IMPROVED DIURNAL PROPERTIES

The first published claim:


An isolated bacterial cell of a photoautotrophic species, comprising a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a galactose transporter protein, wherein expression of the galactose transporter protein results in transport of glucose into the bacterial cell to increase growth of the bacterial cell on glucose under dark or diurnal conditions as compared to a corresponding photoautotrophic bacterial cell lacking the recombinant polynucleotide.
