Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for the biological production of 1,3-propanediol
from a fermentable carbon source in a single microorganism. In one aspect of
the present invention, an improved process for the conversion of glucose to 1,3-propanediol
is achieved by the use of an  E. coli  transformed with the  Klebsiella
pneumoniae dha  regulon genes  dhaR, orfY, dhaT, orfX, orfW, dhaB1, dhaB2, dhaB3 , and
 orfZ , all these genes arranged in the same genetic organization as found in wild type
 Klebsiella pneumoniae . In another aspect of the present invention, an improved process for
the production of 1,3-propanediol from glucose using a recombinant  E. coli  containing
genes encoding a G3PDH, a G3P phosphatase, a dehydratase, and a dehydratase
reactivation factor compared to an identical process using a recombinant  E. coli  containing
genes encoding a G3PDH, a G3P phosphatase, a dehydratase, a dehydratase reactivation
factor and a 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase ( dhaT ). The dramatically improved process
relies on the presence in  E. Coli  of a gene encoding a non-specific catalytic activity
sufficient to convert 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde to 1,3-propanediol.

member such that when the second member moves towards the first member an
electrical contact is closed. Spring means (4) biases the members apart, and
permanent magnet means (1,2) are provided for generating a force of attraction

insufficient to overcome the spring means, but when the members are brought
together the permanent magnet means is able to hold the members together
against the spring means. The means for generating an electromagnetic force can
be operated in a first condition to provide an attractive force between said
members sufficient with the permanent magnet means to overcome the spring
means and to bring the members together, and in a second condition to provide a
repulsive force between members sufficient with the spring means to overcome

Abstract: The invention relates to an information carrier for holding user information, the information carrier comprising access information for accessing the user information, the access information being stored in a pre-determined first region on the information carrier. The information carrier further comprises at least one further region different from the first region, the further region comprising dummy information. The invention is based on the insight that the noise level of a read out signal increases somewhat in the region(s) where the access information is hidden. To avoid this difference in noise level between regions with and without the access information, this access information is assigned for only a specific region of the information carrier, but dummy information is also written in other regions. Due to this, an improved copy protection system against illegal read out of the user information present or to be present on the information carrier is realized.
