摘要:
A method for the production of L-phenylalanine which comprises combining t-cinnamic acid and ammonium ions in the presence of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase under L-phenylalanine-producing conditions and recovering the L-phenylalanine from the bioreaction mixture so produced characterised in that the source of ammonium ions comprises ammonium carbamate.
摘要:
A process for the synthesis of L-phenylalanines and analogues thereof from trans-cinnamate, ring substituted trans-cinnamates or various acrylate derivatives and ammonia or an ammonia donor in the presence of L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme and a desensitizing agent such as polyhydric alcohols and polyethylene glycol-(400) is disclosed. The process embraces the discovery that compounds such as polyhydric alcohols and polyethylene glycol-(400) desensitize the L-phenyalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme to substantially higher substrate concentrations than practiced heretofore. In addition, polyhydric alcohols and polyethylene glycol-(400) substantially enhance the instantaneous rate of reaction and inhibit inactivation of the L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme over longer reaction periods.
摘要:
L-Tryptophan and L-phenylalanine auxotrophic mutant strains of the genus Bacillus which are capable of vigorous growth on culture medium containing enough of m-fluorophenylalanine and/or cinnamic acid to suppress growth of the parent strain produce more L-phenylalanine by aerobic fermentation of generally conventional aqueous media than the best L-phenylalanine producing related microorganisms available heretofore.
摘要:
An improvement directed to the generation of particle form cell mass immobilized enzymes through cross-linking with polyazetidine prepolymer which comprises pretreating the enzymatically active microorganism cells in aqueous suspension with glutaraldehyde to effect partial cross-linking followed by dewatering and then admixing so-treated cell mass with the polyazetidine prepolymer followed by curing. … The dispersion of treated enzymatically active cell mass with the polyazetidine prepolymer may be sub-divided and shaped into granular form prior to curing, so that the immobilized enzyme product comprises cell mass enzyme granules of desired size and a controlled shape in high yield. … Glucose isomerase from a strain of the Streptomyces murinus cluster and tryptophan synthetase from a strain of E. coli are exemplified preferred embodiments.
摘要:
A method is provided for overexpressing an amino acid in a microorganism comprising the step of altering the chromosomal DNA of host microorganisms or transforming the host microorganisms with at least one expression vector such that the resultant microorganism will overexpress certain operons and be inactive with respect to the other operons in the biosynthetic pathway of the amino acid, whereby overexpression of the amino acid will occur.
摘要:
A novel plasmid which can be autonomously replicated within the cells of Escherichia coli, said plasmid comprising a DNA fragment containing genes which govern the biosynthesis of tryptophan synthase, a DNA fragment containing genes which are derived from F-plasmid and govern its partition system and a DNA fragment containing genes which are derived from a Col El-type plasmid and govern its autonomous replication. A host organism transformed with the plasmid is useful for industrial production of tryptophan.
摘要:
Aromatisch substituierte L-Aminosäuren werden besonders vorteilhaft durch enzymatische Spaltung des Racemats der niederen Alkylester mit a-Chymotrypsin, Extraktion des D-Esters aus dem alkalisch gestellten Reaktionsgemisch mit einem organischen Lösemittel, Racemisierung, Extraktion des D,L-Esters mit wäßriger Säure und Rückführung nach Aufstärken in den Prozeß sowie Isolierung der L-Aminosäure aus dem alkalischen Extraktionsrückstand nach Ansäuern erhalten.Das Enzym wird vorteilhaft an einen anorganischen Träger fixiert. Die Racemisierung erfolgt zweckmäßig im Extrakt, also ohne Isolierung des D-Esters.
摘要:
A process for producing L-tryptophan in which a suitable substrate such as a carbohydrate, indole or anthranilic acid is contacted with Coryneform bacteria, where the Coryneform bacteria bear recombinant DNA constructed by connecting a gene coding for tryptophan synthetase with a plasmid vector capable of proliferating in Coryneform bacteria.
摘要:
L-amino acids are produced by means of an microbial enzyme system by treating a 5-substituted hydantoin or an N-carbamyl derivative of an amino acid with cells or the contents of cells of a strain which belongs to the genus Arthrobacter and which is capable of converting the 5-substituted hydantoin or N-carbamyl derivative into a corresponding L-amino acid.
摘要:
L-tryptophan can be prepared in good yield by a fermentation process which comprises culturing a novel L-tryptophan-producing microorganism of the genus Corynebacterium, which is resistant to at least one member selected from glyphosate [N-phosphonomethyl glycine], paraquat [1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bispyridinium] and derivatives thereof, and recovering L-tryptophan from the culture broth.
