摘要:
Provided is a means for promoting electron transfer between nanocarbon and other substances. An electron transfer accelerator for nanocarbon comprising a compound having an aromatic ring skeleton.
摘要:
Provided is a means for efficiently producing a monoacyl MEL. This means comprises culturing a monoacyl-MEL-producing microorganism in the presence of a surfactant.
摘要:
Provided is a means for increasing mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL) production efficiency. The present invention is a mannosylerythritol-lipid-producing microorganism transformed with an expression vector having a gene that encodes a lipase under the control of E5Pgap promoter or E5Ptef promoter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic for skin roughness improvement/skin care containing a biosurfactant, particularly MEL-A, MEL-B or MEL-C.
摘要:
The present invention includes as an active ingredient at least one biosurfactant, in particular mannosyl alditol lipid (such as MEL and MML) or triacylated mannosyl alditol lipid. This allows providing an activator and anti-aging agent that is excellent in activating and anti-aging effects on cells and that is safe enough to be used for a long time, and also providing cosmetics, quasi-drugs, drugs, and drinks and foods including the activator and the anti-aging agent as active ingredients. Further, the present invention provides MEL whose mannosyl erythritol skeleton in a molecular structure is 1-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol and a method for producing the MEL with use of a microorganism.
