Variant bacterial strains and processes for protein or biomass production

Abstract

Variant chemoautotrophic bacteria of the genus Xanthobacter including a genetic modification that reduces the bacterial production of polyhydroxyalkanoic acids. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to continuous culture processes for the production of protein or biomass using variant chemoautotrophic bacteria, said process including supply of gases and minerals to the cells. The present disclosure also relates to the products of these processes and use of these products in e.g. food or feed. Reference is made to the Identification of the Microorganism, having the Identification reference given by the DEPOSITOR of SoF1-2.0 and with the Accession number given by the INTERNATIONAL DEPOSITORY AUTHORITY of VTT E-213595. The date of the original deposit is Apr. 19, 2021
