Three new patent applications (U.S. Pub. Nos. 20200165641, ‘5643, & ‘5644) relating to the biosynthesis of cannabinoids were published this week assigned to Khona Pharms LLC, two independent inventors, and BioMediCan Inc., respectively. 

Application ‘5641 discloses using a bidirectional multi-enzymatic scaffold to biosynthesize cannabinoids in engineered host cells consisting of bacteria, yeast, algae, or plant cells. Likewise, application ‘5644 teaches a method of producing cannabinoids in yeast. Whereas, in application ‘5643, it is described that genetically engineered microorganisms are used in food and beverage effluent processing to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand.
