摘要:
An expression vector containing both of a DNA coding for L-sorbose dehydrogenase and a DNA coding for L-sorbosone dehydrogenase; a transformant capable of producing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KLGA) from D-sorbitol in a high yield and prepared by transforming with the above vector a microorganism which produces L-sorbose from D-sorbitol in a high yield and which has no or little activity of decomposing 2KLGA, or such a microorganism which has, in addition, no or little activity of producing L-idonic acid; and a process for producing 2KLGA by culturing the transformant in a medium containing D-sorbitol. The invention process enables 2KLGA useful for producing L-ascorbic acid to be produced readily in a large amount at a good efficiency by single culture.
摘要:
A novel L-sorbose dehydrogenase (SDH) and a novel L-sorbosone dehydrogenase both derived from Gluconobacter oxydans T-100, a DNA which encodes the SDH and/or SNDH, an expression vector which contains the DNA, a host cell transformed by the expression vector and a process for producing the SDH and/or SNDH, which comprises culturing the host cell in a medium and recovering the SDH and/or SNDH from the resulting culture. The SDH and SNDH of the present invention are useful enzymes having preferable properties for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid, as well as L-ascorbic acid. According to the production method of the present invention, the SDH and SNDH having such preferable properties can be produced in large amounts by genetic engineering.
摘要:
A mutant CC acylase wherein at least one amino acid at the A1a , Met , Ser , Met , Glu , Met , Met , or Met position of the animo acid sequence of the native CC acylase is replaced by a different amino acid, a DNA coding therefor, an expression vector containing the said DNA, a microorganism transformed with the said expression vector, the production of the CC acylase by culturing the said transformant, and use thereof for the production of a compound. The mutant CC acylase of the invention has desirable properties in terms of enzymatic potency, alteration of pH profile, efficiency of processing, and the like.
