The present invention relates to methods for the production of oligosaccharides in genetically modified bacterial host cells, as well as to the genetically modified host cells used in the methods. The genetically modified host cell comprises at least one recombinant glycosyltransferase, and at least one nucleic acid sequence coding for a protein enabling the export of the oligosaccharide.

Production of human milk oligosaccharides in microbial hosts with engineered import / export

Disclosed are genetically engineered microbial cells for the production of oligosaccharides comprising a galactose-β1,4-glucose moiety at their reducing end, wherein said microbial cells are able to produce said oligosaccharides in the absence of exogenously added lactose, and a method of producing said oligosaccharides using said microbial cells.

Fermentative production of oligosaccharides by total fermentation utilizing a mixed feedstock

Disclosed are non-naturally-occurring microorganisms for the production of N-acetylneuraminic acid, a method for the production of N-acetylneuraminic acid by fermentation of the non-naturally-occurring microorganisms, and nutritional compositions containing N-acetylneuraminic acid which has been produced by fermentation of the non-naturally-occurring microorganisms.

Fermentative production of N-acetylneuraminic acid

The present invention relates to a method for producing fucosylated oligosaccharides by using a recombinant prokaryotic host cell that is cultivated on a gluconeogenic substrate, as well as to the host cell and its use. The host cell is genetically modified in that the activity of a fructose-6-phosphate converting enzyme is abolished or lowered, and the transport of the produced fucosylated oligosaccharide through the cell membrane is facilitated by an exogenous transport protein.

Process for the production of fucosylated oligosaccharides

Disclosed are genetically engineered microbial cells for the production of oligosaccharides comprising a galactose-&#x3b2;1,4-glucose moiety at their reducing end, wherein said microbial cells are able to produce said oligosaccharides in the absence of exogenously added lactose, and a method of producing said oligosaccharides using said microbial cells.
