The present invention provides a bacterium having a genome that is genetically engineered to be at least 2 to about 20% smaller than the genome of its native parent strain. A bacterium with a smaller genome can produce a commercial product more efficiently. The present invention also provides methods for deleting genes and other DNA sequences from a bacterial genome. The methods provide precise deletions and seldom introduces mutations to the genomic DNA sequences around the deletion sites. Thus the methods can be used to generate , a series of deletions in a bacterium without increasing the possibility of undesired homologous recombination within the genome. In addition some of the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 22, 2003 and granted September 24, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 22, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 22, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
