Description:
ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYURETHANES Background of the Invention Finding sustainable biomass sources that may be used for the development of new biomaterials without the need for petroleum-derived materials is an important component in developing a circular and sustainable economy. However, most of these sources are of plant origin and, therefore, compete with food production, requiring cropland, water, and harvesting. It has been recently shown that by-products of synthetic biology, particularly those recovered by distillation, may be able to play a role in developing new biomaterials, as they contain polyols compatible with biopolymer manufacture. However, such by- products are not presently suitable for use, as they are mixed with other degradation by-products, making their use impractical. Therefore, the valorization of secondary materials from fermentation processes represents an opportunity to access valuable starting materials for the development of novel, bio-based polymers with useful properties. These bio-based polymers can be applied in many fields, such as packaging, automotive coatings and/or adhesives, biomedical devices, and household products, among others. However, to access these resources, there remains a need for processes that efficiently isolate secondary materials from a fermentation mixture. Summary of the Invention The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for synthesizing polymers (e.g., polyurethanes and polyurethane-based renewable resources), particularly from residue produced as a by- product of host cells (e.g., yeast cells) that are capable of producing a fermentation product. The compositions and methods described herein provide a significant benefit to the field of synthetic biology: the ability to sustainably produce new materials using components found in by-products of fermentation. For example, polyols, which have been identified as being of potential interest in producing new materials, may be found in the by-products of fermentation, particularly in the residue (e.g., distillate residue) from a fermentation composition. However, isolating the polyols such that they are suitable for synthesis (e.g., by way of polymerization) has been a significant challenge. In order to access the polyols found in the residue of a fermentation composition, the various impurities (e.g., wax, sludge, and other degradation by-products) that are also found in the residue of a fermentation composition must be successfully removed. The present disclosure is based, in part, on the discovery of processes capable of isolating fermentation by-products, such as polyols, in a manner that renders these by-products suitable for the synthesis of biopolymers. Using a unique combination of extraction, distillation, and reaction steps described herein, one can produce bio-based polymer (e.g., polyurethane) compositions. The sections that follow provide a description of the compositions and methods that can be used to obtain polymer materials starting from residues resulting from a fermentation process. In a first aspect, the disclosure provides a method of synthesizing a polyurethane from a fermentation composition that has been produced by culturing a population of host cells capable of producing a fermentation product in a culture medium and under conditions suitable for the host cells to produce the fermentation product. The method includes: (a) extracting an oil fraction obtained from a ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT residue from the fermentation composition; (b) distilling the oil fraction of step (a), thereby producing a distillation product; and (c) reacting the distillation product of step (b) with an isocyanate to form the polyurethane.

Definitions As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term “about” when modifying a numerical value or range herein includes normal variation encountered in the field, and includes plus or minus 1-10% (e.g., 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%) of the numerical value or end points of the numerical range. Thus, a value of 10 includes all numerical values from 9 to 11. All numerical ranges described herein include the endpoints of the range unless otherwise noted, and all numerical values in-between the end points, to the first significant digit. As used herein, the term “cannabinoid” refers to a chemical substance that binds or interacts with a cannabinoid receptor (for example, a human cannabinoid receptor) and includes, without limitation, chemical compounds such endocannabinoids, phytocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic compounds are chemicals made to mimic phytocannabinoids which are naturally found in the cannabis plant (e.g., Cannabis sativa), including but not limited to cannabigerols (CBG), cannabichromens (CBC), cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabinol (CBN), cannabinodiol (CBDL), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabielsoin (CBE), and cannabitriol (CBT). As used herein, the term “capable of producing” refers to a host cell which includes the enzymes necessary for the production of a given compound in accordance with a biochemical pathway that produces the compound. For example, a cell (e.g., a yeast cell) that is “capable of producing” squalene is one that contains the enzymes necessary for production of the squalene according to the squalene biosynthetic pathway. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT As used herein, the term “distillation” describes a process by which at least a portion of a liquid undergoes a state change to have a gaseous state. For example, distillation may be used to separate two liquids from one another or to remove one liquid from a mixture containing one or more additional liquids. In some embodiments, evaporation includes the process of distillation, in which a liquid not only changes phase to a gaseous state, but is subsequently condensed back to a liquid form. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a distillation is performed by heating a mixture of liquids such that a lower-boiling point substance begins to evaporate, changing phase from a liquid to a gaseous state, while leaving the remaining liquid(s) in the mixture in a liquid phase. The lower-boiling point substance may then be condensed, e.g., upon exposure to reduced temperature, thereby: (1) returning the lower-boiling point substance to a liquid phase, and (2) separating the lower-boiling point substance from the remaining liquid(s) in the mixture. The distillation may be, for example, a “simple distillation,” which refers to a process in which a mixture of liquids having substantially different boiling points (e.g., boiling points that differ from one another by about 25 C o or more) is separated by heating the mixture until substantially all of the lower- boiling point substance evaporates and substantially all of the higher-boiling point substance remains in the liquid phase. The vapor of the lower-boiling point substance, in turn, is condensed so as to return the lower-boiling point substance to the liquid phase. In some embodiments, the distillation may be a “fractional distillation,” a process that is used, e.g., for separating highly miscible liquids and/or those having boiling points that differ by less than about 25 C o . A fractional distillation process involves heating a mixture containing the liquids such that the resulting vapor enters a fractionating column. The fractionating column is a column (e.g., a vertical, inclined, or horizontal column) configured so as to have a temperature gradient: the bottom of the fractionating column (i.e., the point at which the vapor enters the column) is the warmest, and the top of the fractionating column is the coolest. As the vapor proceeds upward through the column, the vapor is enriched for the lower-boiling point substance as a result of the temperature gradient. Once enriched for the lower-boiling point substance, the vapor exits the fractionating column and is exposed to a reduced temperature, thereby condensing the lower-boiling point substance and resolving the liquid mixture into its components. As used herein, the term “distillate residue” refers to material remaining after a composition (e.g., a fermentation composition including a population of host cells capable of producing a fermentation product and a culture medium) has undergone a distillation process. The term “distillate residue” includes residue that is left behind in a first vessel after a fermentation composition has undergone distillation, and the distillation product is now found in a second vessel. In some embodiments, the distillate residue may include a hydroxylated product or may include polyols. As used herein, the term “endogenous” describes a molecule (e.g., a polypeptide, nucleic acid, or cofactor) that is found naturally in a particular organism (e.g., a human) or in a particular location within an organism (e.g., an organ, a tissue, or a cell, such as a human cell). As used herein, the term “exogenous” describes a molecule (e.g., a polypeptide, nucleic acid, or cofactor) that is not found naturally in a particular organism (e.g., a human) or in a particular location within an organism (e.g., an organ, a tissue, or a cell, such as a human cell). Exogenous materials include those that are provided from an external source to an organism or to cultured matter extracted therefrom. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT As used herein in the context of a gene, the term “express” refers to any one or more of the following events: (1) production of an RNA template from a DNA sequence (e.g., by transcription); (2) processing of an RNA transcript (e.g., by splicing, editing, 5’ cap formation, and/or 3’ end processing); (3) translation of an RNA into a polypeptide or protein; and (4) post-translational modification of a polypeptide or protein. Expression of a gene of interest in a cell, tissue sample, or subject can manifest, for example, as: an increase in the quantity or concentration of mRNA encoding a corresponding protein (as assessed, e.g., using RNA detection procedures described herein or known in the art, such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and RNA seq techniques), an increase in the quantity or concentration of a corresponding protein (as assessed, e.g., using protein detection methods described herein or known in the art, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), among others), and/or an increase in the activity of a corresponding protein (e.g., in the case of an enzyme, as assessed using an enzymatic activity assay described herein or known in the art). As used herein, the term “fermentation composition” refers to a composition which contains host cells and products, or metabolites produced by the genetically modified host cells.

As used herein, the term “fermentation product” refers to a compound that is produced by a host cell (e.g., yeast cell), which is cultured in a medium and under conditions suitable for the host cells to produce the fermentation product. The fermentation product may be naturally produced by the host cells or may be produced by host cells that have been genetically modified to produce the fermentation product. As used herein, the term “gene” refers to the segment of DNA involved in producing or encoding a polypeptide chain. It may include regions preceding and following the coding region (leader and trailer) as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons). Alternatively, the term “gene” can refer to the segment of DNA involved in producing or encoding a non-translated RNA, such as an rRNA, tRNA, gRNA, or micro RNA. A “genetic pathway” or “biosynthetic pathway” as used herein refers to a set of at least two different coding sequences, where the coding sequences encode enzymes that catalyze different parts of a synthetic pathway to form a desired product. In a genetic pathway, a first encoded enzyme uses a substrate to make a first product which in turn is used as a substrate for a second encoded enzyme to make a second product. In some embodiments, the genetic pathway includes 3 or more members (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.), wherein the product of one encoded enzyme is the substrate for the next enzyme in the synthetic pathway. As used herein, the term “genetically modified” denotes a host cell that contains a heterologous nucleotide sequence. The genetically modified host cells described herein typically do not exist in nature. As used herein, the term “heterologous” refers to what is not normally found in nature. The term “heterologous nucleic acid” refers to a nucleic acid not normally found in a given cell in nature. A heterologous nucleic acid can be: (a) foreign to its host cell, i.e., exogenous to the host cell such that a host cell does not naturally contain the nucleic acid; (b) naturally found in the host cell, i.e., endogenous or native to the host cell, but present at an unnatural quantity in the cell (i.e., greater or lesser quantity than naturally found in the host cell); (c) be naturally found in the host cell but positioned outside of its ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT natural locus. A “heterologous” polypeptide refers to a polypeptide that is encoded by a “heterologous nucleic acid”. Thus, for example, a “heterologous” polypeptide may be naturally produced by a host cell but is encoded by a heterologous nucleic acid that has been introduced into the host cell by genetic engineering. For example, a “heterologous” polypeptide can include embodiments in which an endogenous polypeptide is produced by an expression construct and is overexpressed in the host cell compared to native levels of the polypeptide produced by the host cell. A “heterologous genetic pathway” or a “heterologous biosynthetic pathway” as used herein refer to a genetic pathway that does not normally or naturally exist in an organism or cell. The term “host cell” as used in the context of this disclosure refers to a microorganism, such as yeast, and includes an individual cell or cell culture including a heterologous vector or heterologous polynucleotide as described herein. Host cells include progeny of a single host cell, and the progeny may not necessarily be completely identical (in morphology or in total DNA complement) to the original parent cell due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutation and/or change. A host cell includes cells into which a recombinant vector or a heterologous polynucleotide of the invention has been introduced, including by transformation, transfection, and the like.

Detailed Description The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for synthesizing a polyurethane from a fermentation composition. The polyurethane may be synthesized, for example, by culturing a population of host cells capable of producing a fermentation product in a culture medium and under conditions suitable for the host cells to produce the fermentation product. The composition resulting from this fermentation process may include one or more polyols, which may be used in the synthesis of a polyurethane. However, isolating and refining these polyols in a way that prepares them for subsequent polymerization has been a long-standing challenge, particularly, because such are present in the fermentation composition along with impurities, including sludge and wax. These impurities have hindered the ability of such polyols to be utilized as starting materials for biopolymer production. It has presently been discovered that residue (e.g., a distillate residue) from a fermentation composition may be subjected to a unique series of steps in order to efficiently isolate and purify such polyols, rendering them capable of polymerization. For example, by purifying the residue (e.g., distillate residue) from a fermentation composition by way of a tandem extraction-distillation procedure, a polyol product may be obtained. The resulting polyol product may be reacted with an isocyanate to form polyurethane. The sections that follow provide a description of exemplary compositions and methods that may be used to synthesize a polyurethane from secondary materials produced during a fermentation process. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT Methods of Synthesizing a Polyurethane Provided herein are methods for synthesizing a polyurethane from a fermentation composition that has been produced by culturing a population of host cells capable of producing a fermentation product. For example, the production methods of the disclosure may include extracting an oil fraction from a residue (e.g., distillate residue) from the fermentation composition, distilling the oil fraction to produce a distillation product, and reacting the distillation product with an isocyanate to form the polyurethane. The extraction of an oil fraction from a distillate from the fermentation composition may include a winterization step. The winterization step may include dissolving the distillate from the fermentation composition in ethanol to produce an ethanol solution. The ratio of the residue (e.g., distillate residue) from the fermentation composition to ethanol may be between 1:8 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v) (e.g., between 1:7 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:6 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:5 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:4 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:3 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:2 (w/v) and 1:1 (w/v), 1:8 (w/v) and 1:2 (w/v), 1:8 (w/v) and 1:3 (w/v), 1:8 (w/v) and 1:4 (w/v), 1:8 (w/v) and 1:5 (w/v), 1:8 (w/v) and 1:6 (w/v), or 1:8 (w/v) and 1:7 (w/v). For example, the residue (e.g., distillate residue) from the fermentation composition and the ethanol may have a ratio of 1:8 (w/v), 1:7 (w/v), 1:6 (w/v), 1:5 (w/v), 1:4 (w/v), 1:3 (w/v), or 1:2 (w/v).

Cannabinoid Biosynthetic Pathway The cell may include one or more nucleic acids encoding one or more enzymes of a heterologous genetic pathway that produces a cannabinoid or a precursor of a cannabinoid. The cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway may begin with hexanoic acid as the substrate for an acyl activating enzyme (AAE) to produce hexanoyl-CoA, which is used as the substrate of a tetraketide synthase (TKS) to produce tetraketide-CoA, which is used by an olivetolic acid cyclase (OAC) to produce olivetolic acid, which is then used to produce a cannabigerolic acid by a geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) synthase and a cannabigerolic acid synthase (CBGaS). In some embodiments, the cannabinoid precursor that is produced is a substrate in the cannabinoid pathway (e.g., hexanoate or olivetolic acid).

A TKS uses the hexanoyl-CoA precursor to generate tetraketide-CoA. The TKS may be from Cannabis sativa or may be an enzyme from another plant or fungal source which has been shown to have TKS activity in the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the production of the cannabinoid precursor olivetolic acid. Some embodiments concern a cell that includes a heterologous CBGaS such that the cell is capable of producing a cannabinoid. A CBGaS uses the olivetolic acid precursor and GPP precursor to generate cannabigerolic acid. The CBGaS may be from Cannabis sativa or may be an enzyme from ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT another plant or fungal source which has been shown to have CBGaS activity in the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the production of the cannabinoid cannabigerolic acid. Some embodiments concern a cell that includes a heterologous GPP synthase such that the cell is capable of producing a cannabinoid. A GPP synthase uses the product of the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway precursor to generate cannabigerolic acid together with a prenyltransferase enzyme. The GPP synthase may be from Cannabis sativa or may be an enzyme from another plant or bacterial source which has been shown to have GPP synthase activity in the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway, resulting in the production of the cannabinoid cannabigerolic acid. The population of cells may further express other heterologous enzymes in addition to the AAE, TKS, CBGaS, and/or GPP synthase. For example, in some embodiments, the cell may include a heterologous nucleic acid that encodes at least one enzyme from the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway. Enzymes which make up the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway may include but are not limited to an acetyl-CoA thiolase, an HMG-CoA synthase, an HMG-CoA reductase, a mevalonate kinase, a phosphomevalonate kinase, a mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase, and an IPP: DMAPP isomerase.

In some embodiments, the cell may include an olivetolic acid cyclase (OAC) as part of the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway. In some embodiments, the cell further includes one or more heterologous nucleic acids that each, independently, encode an acetyl-CoA synthase, and/or an aldehyde dehydrogenase, and/or a pyruvate decarboxylase. In some embodiments, the cell contains a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an aceto-CoA carboxylase (ACC).

Introduction of Heterologous Nucleic Acids into a Host Cell In some embodiments, a heterologous nucleic acid of the disclosure is introduced into a host cell (e.g., yeast cell) by way of a gap repair molecular biology technique. The host cell may be host cell capable of producing a fermentation product or a previously fermented cell. In these methods, if the host cell has non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) activity, as is the case for Kluyveromyces marxianus, then the NHEJ activity in the host cell can be first disrupted in any of a number of ways. Further details related to genetic modification of host cells (e.g., yeast cells) through gap repair can be found in U.S. Patent No. 9,476,065, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, a heterologous nucleic acid of the disclosure is introduced into the host cell by way of one or more site-specific nucleases capable of causing breaks at designated regions within selected nucleic acid target sites. Examples of such nucleases include, but are not limited to, endonucleases, site-specific recombinases, transposases, topoisomerases, zinc finger nucleases, TAL- effector DNA binding domain-nuclease fusion proteins (TALENs), CRISPR/Cas-associated RNA-guided endonucleases, and meganucleases. Further details related to genetic modification of host cells through site specific nuclease activity can be found in U.S. Patent No.9,476,065, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequence Optimization Described herein are specific genes and proteins useful in the methods, compositions, and organisms of the disclosure; however, it will be recognized that absolute identity to such genes is not necessary. For example, changes in a particular gene or polynucleotide including a sequence encoding a polypeptide or enzyme can be performed and screened for activity. Typically, such changes include conservative mutations and silent mutations. Such modified or mutated polynucleotides and polypeptides can be screened for expression of a functional enzyme using methods known in the art. Due to the inherent degeneracy of the genetic code, other polynucleotides which encode substantially the same or functionally equivalent polypeptides can also be used to clone and express the polynucleotides encoding such enzymes. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT As will be understood by those of skill in the art, it can be advantageous to modify a coding sequence to enhance its expression in a particular host. The genetic code is redundant with 64 possible codons, but most organisms typically use a subset of these codons. The codons that are utilized most often in a species are called optimal codons, and those not utilized very often are classified as rare or low-usage codons. Codons can be substituted to reflect the preferred codon usage of the host, in a process sometimes called "codon optimization" or "controlling for species codon bias." Optimized coding sequences containing codons preferred by a particular prokaryotic or eukaryotic host (Murray et al., 1989, Nucl Acids Res.17: 477-508) can be prepared, for example, to increase the rate of translation or to produce recombinant RNA transcripts having desirable properties, such as a longer half-life, as compared with transcripts produced from a non-optimized sequence. Translation stop codons can also be modified to reflect host preference. For example, typical stop codons for S. cerevisiae and mammals are UAA and UGA, respectively. The typical stop codon for monocotyledonous plants is UGA, whereas insects and E. coli commonly use UAA as the stop codon (Dalphin et al., 1996, Nucl Acids Res.24: 216-8). Those of skill in the art will recognize that, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, a variety of DNA molecules differing in their nucleotide sequences can be used to encode a given heterologous polypeptide of the disclosure. A native DNA sequence encoding the biosynthetic enzymes described above is referenced herein merely to illustrate an embodiment of the disclosure, and the disclosure includes DNA molecules of any sequence that encode the amino acid sequences of the polypeptides and proteins of the enzymes utilized in the methods of the disclosure. In similar fashion, a polypeptide can typically tolerate one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and insertions in its amino acid sequence without loss or significant loss of a desired activity. The disclosure includes such polypeptides with different amino acid sequences than the specific proteins described herein so long as the modified or variant polypeptides have the enzymatic anabolic or catabolic activity of the reference polypeptide. Furthermore, the amino acid sequences encoded by the DNA sequences shown herein merely illustrate embodiments of the disclosure. When "homologous" is used in reference to proteins or peptides, it is recognized that residue positions that are not identical often differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which an amino acid residue is substituted by another amino acid residue having a side chain (R group) with similar chemical properties, e.g., charge or hydrophobicity. In general, a conservative amino acid substitution will not substantially change the functional properties of a protein. In cases where two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other by conservative substitutions, the percent sequence identity or degree of homology may be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution. Means for making this adjustment are well known to those of skill in the art (See, e.g., Pearson W. R., 1994, Methods in Mol. Biol.25: 365-89). Furthermore, any of the genes encoding an enzyme described herein (or any of the regulatory elements that control or modulate expression thereof) can be optimized by genetic/protein engineering techniques, such as directed evolution or rational mutagenesis, which are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Such action allows those of ordinary skill in the art to optimize the enzymes for expression and activity in yeast. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT In addition, genes encoding these enzymes can be identified from other fungal and bacterial species and can be expressed for the modulation of this pathway. A variety of organisms could serve as sources for these enzymes, including, but not limited to, Saccharomyces spp., including S. cerevisiae and S. uvarum, Kluyveromyces spp., including K. thermotolerans, K. lactis, and K. marxianus, Pichia spp., Hansenula spp., including H. polymorpha, Candida spp., Trichosporon spp., Yamadazyma spp., including Y. spp. stipitis, Torulaspora pretoriensis, Issatchenkia orientalis, Schizosaccharomyces spp., including S. pombe, Cryptococcus spp., Aspergillus spp., Neurospora spp., or Ustilago spp. Sources of genes from anaerobic fungi include, but are not limited to, Piromyces spp., Orpinomyces spp., or Neocallimastix spp. Sources of prokaryotic enzymes that are useful include, but are not limited to, Escherichia. coli, Zymomonas mobilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus spp., Clostridium spp., Corynebacterium spp., Pseudomonas spp., Lactococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Salmonella spp., or X. dendrorhous. Techniques known to those skilled in the art may be suitable to identify additional homologous genes and homologous enzymes. Generally, analogous genes and/or analogous enzymes can be identified by functional analysis and will have functional similarities. Techniques known to those skilled in the art can be suitable to identify analogous genes and analogous enzymes. Techniques include, but are not limited to, cloning a gene by PCR using primers based on a published sequence of a gene/enzyme of interest, or by degenerate PCR using degenerate primers designed to amplify a conserved region among a gene of interest. Further, one skilled in the art can use techniques to identify homologous or analogous genes, proteins, or enzymes with functional homology or similarity. Techniques include examining a cell or cell culture for the catalytic activity of an enzyme through in vitro enzyme assays for said activity, e.g., as described herein or in Kiritani, K., Branched-Chain Amino Acids Methods Enzymology, 1970; then isolating the enzyme with said activity through purification; determining the protein sequence of the enzyme through techniques such as Edman degradation; design of PCR primers to the likely nucleic acid sequence; amplification of said DNA sequence through PCR; and cloning of said nucleic acid sequence. To identify homologous or similar genes and/or homologous or similar enzymes, suitable techniques also include comparison of data concerning a candidate gene or enzyme with databases such as BRENDA, KEGG, or MetaCYC. The candidate gene or enzyme can be identified within the above-mentioned databases in accordance with the teachings herein. Culture and Fermentation Methods Materials and methods for the maintenance and growth of microbial cultures are well known to those skilled in the art of microbiology or fermentation science (see, for example, Bailey et al., Biochemical Engineering Fundamentals, second edition, McGraw Hill, New York, 1986). Consideration must be given to appropriate culture medium, pH, temperature, and requirements for aerobic, microaerobic, or anaerobic conditions, depending on the specific requirements of the host cell, the fermentation, and the process. The methods of producing squalene provided herein may be performed in a suitable culture medium in a suitable container, including but not limited to a cell culture plate, a flask, or a fermentor. Further, the methods can be performed at any scale of fermentation known in the art to support industrial production of microbial products.

In some embodiments, the culture medium is any culture medium in which a microorganism capable of producing a heterologous product can subsist, i.e., maintain growth and viability. In some embodiments, the culture medium is an aqueous medium comprising assimilable carbon, nitrogen and phosphate sources.

In some embodiments, the carbon source and each of the essential cell nutrients are added incrementally or continuously to the fermentation medium, and each required nutrient is maintained at essentially the minimum level needed for efficient assimilation by growing cells, for example, in accordance with a predetermined cell growth curve based on the metabolic or respiratory function of the cells which convert the carbon source to a biomass. Suitable conditions and suitable medium for culturing microorganisms are well known in the art. In some embodiments, the suitable medium is supplemented with one or more additional agents, such as, for example, an inducer (e.g., when one or more nucleotide sequences encoding a gene product are under the control of an inducible promoter), a repressor (e.g., when one or more nucleotide sequences encoding a gene product are under the control of a repressible promoter), or a selection agent (e.g., an antibiotic to select for microorganisms comprising the genetic modifications).

Example 1. Purification of Polyurethane from a β-Farnesene Distillation Residue Overview To enable the use of biomass-containing polyols derived from industrial fermentation, we first developed processes that prepared these co-products for polymerization reactions. The industrial production of β-farnesene results in a considerable amount of residue labelled as Farnesene Distillation Residue (FDR), which may have great biosynthetic potential as a source of β-farnesene-derived monomers to be used in the development of new bio-based materials. In fact, FDR is a residue rich in β- farnesene, farnesol, other terpenes, phytosterols, fatty alcohols and fatty acids, wax esters, and a polymeric fraction, that, due to their polyol nature, can be used in the obtention of bio-based materials, namely polyurethanes (FIG.1). The presence of sludge and waxy materials, as well as other biomolecules, may interfere with the polymerization of the above materials with isocyanates. Accordingly, FDR generally requires purification. This is, by itself, an important tool in the valorization of all fractions of the FDR. In the first step of the purification process, the fraction useful for the development of the new bio-based materials, which was designated here as Non-Distillate 1 (ND1), was obtained. The oil fraction can be also isolated by a winterization process with ethanol at low temperatures. During this process, the waxy material forms a precipitate while the oil fraction remains dissolved in the ethanolic phase and is recovered by centrifugation. The ND1 fraction was rich in β-farnesene derived monomers, namely hydroxylated derivatives that gave the ND1 fraction the status of polyol. This polyol nature was useful for the development of new ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT bio-based polyurethanes, by the reaction of ND1 with different isocyanates. These compounds are commonly used on the synthesis of this type of polymers, being the most common 2,4 – toluene diisocyanate (TDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) (FIG.2). In this work, new bio-based polyurethanes from ND1 (bio-based polyol source) were developed with the mentioned isocyanates to produce films. The physicochemical, thermal, barrier and mechanical properties were evaluated to characterize the new materials to define the optimal field of application for each material. After the study of the composition of FDR, it was possible to identify compounds that can be valuable in the field of biopolymers development. The following sections describe the developed procedure to prepare the FDR for the distillation step and the purification itself according to boiling points under vacuum (i.e., short-path distillation). To isolate the oil fraction from FDR residue, two different procedures were used. The first approach was performed by a winterization process in which the FDR residue was dissolved in ethanol and then cooled to a very low temperature (i.e., -30 °C). The other approach consisted of a multi-step filtration procedure. This approach was solvent-free since no organic solvents are used during the process. In both procedures the oil fraction of FDR was isolated from the wax fraction resulting in a good yield and did not result in a significant loss of material. Winterization Step The winterization step was performed by taking 200 g of the raw FDR in a glass container and adding ethanol (food grade) in a portion of 1:4 (w:v, 800 mL). The mixture was shaken for 5 minutes and was left to stand at room temperature for 2 hours. The container was then placed at -30 °C overnight. The mixture was then transferred to centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 1250 g for 10 minutes at room temperature. The resulting oil fraction in the ethanolic phase was collected and kept in the vacuum oven at 60°C and 50 mbar for 24 hours (or until the weight remained constant). Oil and waxes were obtained with yields of 90% and 10% respectively, and no significant losses were registered in this process. Multi-Step Filtration The multi-step filtration was performed by filtering the FDR in three steps to separate the wax fraction from the oil fraction. This was performed by taking 475 g of FDR residue and filtering it through a TNT filter (Tescoma), followed by filtering the filtrate through an 11μm filter, and finally by filtering the filtrate through an 8 μm filter. All the filtration steps were executed under vacuum. In this process, the oil fraction was obtained with a yield of 80% while the wax fraction made up 15%, and around 5% of the material was lost in the process, most likely in the glassware and filters Short Path Distillation Step To increase the purity of the substrate and improve the polymerization reaction, the oil fraction, which contained the polyols required for the polymerization process, was further processed by means of a short path distillation procedure to isolate ND1 from the other fractions of interest. This was performed by taking 258 g of the oil fraction, previously isolated by winterization or filtration, and adding it to the short ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT path distillation apparatus. Distillation was achieved using a temperature of 180°C, a pressure of 0.1 mbar, a feed rate of 1.5 mL/min, and a rotor rotation rate of 350 rpm. The ND1 fraction containing the purified polyols was obtained with a 60% of yield. A distillate (D1) was also obtained representing 27% of yield. Synthesis procedure of polyurethane films. The synthesis of the polyurethane films was carried out by mixing filtered ND1 (3 g) with the isocyanate (TDI, MDI, HDI or IPDI) in a proportion of 7:3 (w/w), 2 % (w) of vinyltrimethoxy silane (VTMS) to avoid interferences in the reaction from humidity and improve brightness, and, in when the isocyanates HDI or IPDI were used, 0.2 %(w) of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) as the catalyst. The reaction was carried out at 70 °C for 3 hours and was then spread on a glass surface and kept in a fume hood for 48 hours at room temperature to dry the excess isocyanate (FIG.2). The reaction was monitored using FTIR analysis, which followed the formation of the band around 1710 cm -1 related to the carbonyl group (C=O), which was characteristic of the urethane linkage formation (FIG.3). After drying the excess of the isocyanate, which did not react, the polyurethane film was ready to be characterized and tested. The drying step was also monitored by FTIR analysis following the disappearance of the band related to the isocyanate group (NCO) around 2265 cm -1 (FIG.3). Results Structure analysis by FTIR-ATR After synthesizing polyurethane with different isocyanates, films of new bio-based polyurethane materials were obtained (FIG.1). The formation of the urethane bond was evaluated using FTIR-ATR (FIG.2) where the presence of the main bands related to the urethane linkage formation (C=O stretching around 1712 cm -1 and N-H around 3340 cm -1 ) were observed. As expected, other important bands were observed which were related with the different structures of the isocyanates used. Thermal Properties analysis by DSC DSC analysis was performed to observe the thermal properties for the different polyurethane films produced and the ND1 fraction. The results obtained are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Thermal transitions obtained by Differential Scanning Calorimetry for the ND1 fraction and different bio-based polyurethane films developed. The thermal properties were important to assess as they provided information regarding the range of temperatures for which the film may be used. For example, the application range was between the temperature of processing (Tm) and the temperature above which the material starts its degradation (T degradation ) (i.e., T g ˂ application range > T m ). Table 1 shows the thermal properties of ND1 fraction and ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT all the bio-based polyurethanes produced obtained by the analysis by DSC. The ND1 fraction had a cold crystallization temperature of -46.1 ± 0.1 °C, a melting temperature of -9.2 ± 0.1 °C, and degradation temperature of 390.4 ± 0.2 °C. With the production of the new polyurethane biomaterials, characteristic thermal transitions were assessed, namely the glass transition temperature (T g ), the curing temperature (T cure ) as well as the melting (T melting ), and the decomposition temperature (T decomposition ). For all the biomaterials, the temperature of the glass transition was around -10.1 ± 0.1 °C. The curing temperature was also observed for all the biomaterials including polyurethane films reacted with: HDI (149.8 ± 1.9 °C), IPDI (155.5 ± 0.2 °C), MDI (161.0 ± 13.5 °C), and TDI (194.9 ± 2.1 °C). The curing process is related to the formation of reticulations between polymer chains and can occur at room temperature, which requires a long time. Nevertheless, at the temperatures observed for the curing process, the curing process could be accelerated, and the maximum degree of reticulations could be achieved in less time. Regarding the melting temperatures, all the new biomaterials presented high melting temperatures. Biomaterials made with HDI showed melting temperatures at 250.8 ± 0.4 °C and 332.7 ± 1.1 °C. Biomaterials made with TDI had a melting temperature at 299.9 ± 1.6 °C. Biomaterials made with MDI had a melting temperature at 328 ± 3.0 °C, and made with IPDI had a melting temperature at 340.3 ± 3.5 °C. The decomposition (T degradation ) of the biomaterials was also observed during the analysis and showed that degradation was higher than 387 °C for all biomaterials. It is important to note that the structure of the isocyanate influenced the thermal transitions observed once the ND1 fraction (polyol) used is always the same. XRD analysis X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a characterization technique that can provide direct evidence of crystalline and/or amorphous structure of the materials. To evaluate the new bio-based polyurethane films in terms of amorphous/crystalline structure when compared with other polyurethanes, XRD analysis was performed. The x-ray diffraction patterns are shown in FIG.4. In general, all the bio-based polyurethanes showed a XRD diffraction pattern characteristic of a material having a low degree of crystallinity as shown by the appearance of broad diffraction peaks at 2θ angles. The polyurethane materials derived from TDI and MDI showed broad peaks at 19° and 43°. In the case of the materials derived from the HDI, broad peaks were observed at 7°, 12°, 19° and 43°. The materials derived from IPDI showed broad peaks at 7°, 17.5° and 43°. The differences in the angles observed were related to the structure of the different isocyanates used and consequently the different patterns of X-ray diffraction and degree of crystallinity. These results indicated that the new bio-based polyurethanes have competitive properties when compared with petroleum-based analogues. Mechanical Properties – Young Modulus and Elongation at Break The Young Modulus as well as the Percentage of Elongation at Break of each material was assessed using a Texturometer and by performing tensile tests. The results are presented in Table 2. The Young Modulus is a measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length when under lengthwise tension or compression. The percentage of elongation at break is a measurement that showed how much a material can be stretched, as a percentage of its original dimensions, before it broke. ATTORNEY DOCKET: 51494-029WO2 PATENT Table 2. Mechanical properties of bio-based polyurethanes. Sample Young Modulus (MPa) Elongation at Break (%) P U_TDI 3.41 ± 0.67 150.12 ± 9.64 P U_MDI 0.44 ± 0.03 64.23 ± 14.14 P U_HDI 0.61 ± 0.09 89.93 ± 3.25 P U_IPDI 0.27 ± 0.07 665.01 ± 50.20 Different mechanical properties were achieved using ND1 and various isocyanates. For example, the polyurethane made using TDI had a Young Modulus of 3.41 ± 0.67 MPa. This value was comparable with a Young Modulus of a plastic material. The Young Modulus values obtained of the polyurethane films made using other isocyanates were more comparable with elastomers. Regarding the percentage of elongation at break, it was observed that polyurethane film made with IPDI was very stretchable and had a high percentage of elongation before break (665.01 ± 50.20 %) when compared with the other polyurethane samples that present lower percentages of elongation. High percentage of elongation associated to low Young’s Modulus indicated that that the material had good elasticity.
