Abstract:
A method for raising poultry includes feeding poultry with a feed comprising oxidized glutathione during a period between hatching and 24 to 168 hours after the hatching.
Abstract:
A process for producing on an industrial scale the oxidized coenzyme Q10, includes culturing a reduced coenzyme Q10-producing microorganism selected from the group consisting of the genus Rhodobacter, the genus Saitoella, the genus Schizosaccharomyces and the genus Trichosporon, to obtain microbial cells containing reduced coenzyme Q10 at a ratio of not less than 70 mole % among the entire coenzymes Q10; and one of: (a) oxidizing thus-obtained reduced coenzyme Q10 to oxidized coenzyme Q10 and then extracting the oxidized coenzyme Q10 by an organic solvent; or (b) extracting reduced coenzyme Q10 by an organic solvent and oxidizing the extracted reduced coenzyme Q10 to oxidized coenzyme Q10.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an efficient and economical process for producing a protein A-like protein. Hosts such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis have been used in the production of a protein A-like protein using a genetic recombination technique and however, their low productivity has been a big cause of high cost. Thus, it has been desired strongly to immediately establish a technique enabling the inexpensive, large-scale production of a protein A-like protein using recombinant DNA techniques other than Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The present invention provides a process for producing a protein A-like protein in large amounts, for example, a process comprising allowing a recombinant Brevibacillus genus bacterium to express and secrete the protein in large amounts into a culture solution and separating and collecting the accumulated protein A-like protein from the culture solution.
