- Post-hybridization washes determine stringency conditions.
- One set of preferred conditions uses a series of washes starting with 6X SSC, 0.5% SDS at room temperature for 15 min, then repeated with 2X SSC, 0.5% SDS at 45 °C for 30 min, and then repeated twice with 0.2X SSC, 0.5% SDS at 50 °C for 30 min.
- a more preferred set of stringent conditions uses higher temperatures in which the washes are identical to those above except for the temperature of the final two 30 min washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.5% SDS was increased to 60 °C.
- Another preferred set of highly stringent conditions uses two final washes in 0.1 X SSC, 0.1 % SDS at 65 °C.

- a "substantial portion" of an amino acid or nucleotide sequence is that portion comprising enough of the amino acid sequence of a
- polypeptide or the nucleotide sequence of a gene to putatively identify that polypeptide or gene, either by manual evaluation of the sequence by one skilled in the art, or by computer-automated sequence comparison and identification using algorithms such as BLAST (Altschul, S. F., et al., J. Mol. Biol., 215:403-410 (1993)).

- the present invention provides for greatly improved isobutanol production in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cells having genetic modifications, e.g., deletions, in certain genes, said modifications provide for the elimination of lactate dehydrogenase and reduction or elimination of acetolactate enzyme activity in these cells.
- LAB lactic acid bacteria
- Ldh lactate dehydrogenase
- Acetolactate to acetoin (see Figure 1 ).
- Acetolactate decarboxylase catalyzes conversion of acetolactate to acetoin.
- Decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity in an acetolactate decarboxylase null LAB cell has been found to result in increases in acetolactate and in acetoin after about 20 hours of growth (Monnet et al. Appl and Envrt. Microbiology 66:5518- 5520 (2000).
- Thus efficient conversion of acetolactate to acetoin occured even in the absence of acetolactate decarboxylase activity.
- Modifications to the LAB cells made in Monnet et al (ibid.) were made by chemical mutagenesis followed by screening for reduced enzyme activities.
- the nature of the alterations to the genome are unknown, in contrast to when engineered genetic modifications are made.
- isobutanol production was increased 6-fold over isobutanol production in a cell with Idh gene deletions but no aldB deletion.
- isobutanol pathway was able to effectively divert flux from production of acetoin from acetolactate.
- Engineered genetic modifications to eliminate enzyme activity resulting from modifications to genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase and acetolactate decarboxylase may be made as described below in any LAB, which may also be engineered for the presence of an isobutanol biosynthetic pathway.
- the LAB which may be host cells in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, Pediococcus, and Streptococcus.
- LAB to eliminate the enzyme activity from expression of endogenous lactate dehydrogenase genes that are naturally expressed under growth conditions used during fermentation for product production.
- LAB may have one or more genes, typically one, two or three genes, encoding lactate dehydrogenase.
- Lactobacillus plantarum has three genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase which are named ldhL2 (protein SEQ ID NO:6, coding region SEQ ID NO:5), IdhD (protein SEQ ID NO:2, coding region SEQ ID NO:1 ), and IdhLI (protein SEQ ID NO:4, coding region SEQ ID NO:3).
- Lactococcus lactis has one gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase which is named IdhL (protein SEQ ID NO:8, coding region SEQ ID NO:7), and Pediococcus pentosaceus has two genes named IdhD (protein SEQ ID NO:14, coding region SEQ ID NO:13) and IdhL (protein SEQ ID NO:16, coding region SEQ ID NO:15).
- Codon dehydrogenase Genetic modification is made in at least one gene encoding lactate dehydrogenase to eliminate its activity.
- a genetic modification may be made in each of these active genes to affect their expression such that enzyme activity is eliminated.
- IdhLI and IdhD genes are modified. It is not necessary to modify the third gene, ldhl_2, for growth in typical conditions because this gene appears to be inactive in these conditions.
- expression of one or more genes encoding lactate dehydrogenase is disrupted to eliminate the expressed enzyme activity.
- Examples of LAB lactate dehydrogenase genes that may be targeted for disruption are represented by the coding regions of SEQ ID NOs:1 , 3, 5, 7, 9, 1 1 , 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 listed in Table 1 .
