The present invention relates to a method for degrading DNA in a sample obtained by microbial fermentation or biotransformation, comprising treating the sample with a combination of increased temperature and low pH. It also relates to a method for releasing DNA from a microbial cell, comprising incubating the microbial cell at a temperature of 45&#xb0; C. to 55&#xb0; C. for two to ten hours. Finally, the present invention provides a method for producing a product, comprising a step of releasing DNA from a microbial cell and degrading said DNA.

Method of removing DNA from biotechnological products

The present invention relates to a novel bacterial strain designated DD1, which has the ability to produce organic acids, in particular succinic acid (SA), which was originally isolated from bovine rumen, and is capable of utilizing glycerol as a carbon source; and variant strains derived there from retaining said capability; as well as to methods of producing organic acids, in particular succinic acid by making use of said microorganism.

Bacterial strain and fermentative process for producing succinic acid

The present invention relates to a bacterial cell of the genuscomprising a heterologous polypeptide having formate dehydrogenase activity. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing succinic acid and the use of the bacterial cell for the manufacture of succinic acid.

Bacterial cells exhibiting formate dehydrogenase activity for the manufacture of succinic acid

The present invention is concerned with bacteria for the production of succinic acid. Specifically, the invention relates to a bacterial cell of the genuscomprising a heterologous polypeptide having isocitrate lyase activity and a heterologous polypeptide having malate synthase activity. Further, the present invention contemplates a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having isocitrate lyase activity and a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide having malate synthase activity. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of a bacterial cell of the invention for the manufacture of succinic acid.
