摘要:
A thermostable trehalose phosphorylase which is obtainable from microorganisms of the genus Thermoanaerobium and which hydrolyzes trehalose in the presence of an inorganic phosphoric acid to form D-glucose and .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid. The trehalose phosphorylase can be also prepared by recombinant DNA technology. When the enzyme is allowed to contact with .beta.-D-glucose-1-phosphoric acid as a saccharide donor in the presence of other saccharides, glucosyl-transferred saccharides including glucosyl-D-galactoside, which are conventionally known but scarcely obtainable, can be produced on an industrial-scale and in a relatively-low cost.
摘要:
A highly digestible, good preference, relatively high-quality fermented formula feed which is obtainable by mixing a soybean feed material and a wheat splinter capable of decomposing phytin in an amount of not less than that of the soybean feed material, d.s.b., and subjecting the mixture to a lactic acid fermentation under humid conditions.
摘要:
Disclosed is a non- or substantially non-crystalline high trehalose content syrup, which is supersaturated in trehalose and which further comprises another dissolved saccharide in an amount at least as much as the amount of trehalose. The saccharide acts to prevent crystallization of trehalose. The saccharide may be a reducing monosaccharide, a non-reducing monosaccharide or an oligosaccharide. The supersaturated trehalose solutions are free from bacterial contamination even at ambient temperature.
摘要:
A protein having a molecular weight of 44,000-54,000 daltons, isoelectric point of 8.5-9.2 and specific sugar chain is prepared from a cedar pollen. The protein induces pollenosis and can be suitably used as desensitization agent because it induces immunoglobulin antibody which is effective for desensitization, but does not substantially induce immunoglobulin E antibody, a major factor causative of side effects including anaphylaxis shock. Therefore, the protein can be advantageously used in the treatment, prevention and/or diagnosis of pollenosis.
摘要:
A DNA encoding an enzyme, which forms non-reducing saccharides having trehalose structure as an end unit from amylaceous saccharides having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher, enables an industrial-scale production of a recombinant enzyme with such enzyme activity. Non-reducing saccharides obtainable by the recombinant enzyme can be used in a variety of food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and feeds because of their substantial non-reducibility, mild and high-quality sweetness, adequate viscosity, and moisture-retaining ability.
摘要:
.alpha.-Isomaltosyl .alpha.-isomaltoside represented by O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl -(1.fwdarw.6)-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-(1.fwdarw.6) -.alpha.-D-glucopyranoside is a novel non-reducing saccharide which promotes the growth of bifid bacteria, has an anti-caries activity, and promotes the mineral absorption. Similarly as the non-reducing saccharide, .alpha.-isomaltosyl .alpha.-glucoside and .alpha.-isomaltotriosyl .alpha.-glucoside can be also used to prevent caries and promote the growth of bifid bacteria and the mineral absorption. These saccharides can be used alone or in combination in a variety of foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
摘要:
A saccharide composition with a reduced reducibility which is prepared by hydrogenating a saccharide mixture comprising reducing saccharides and non-reducing saccharides consisting of trehalose and/or saccharides having a trehalose structure. The saccharide composition has a satisfactory sweetness, taste and stability, and is substantially free from reducibility, so that it can be freely used in a variety of compositions such as foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals which are susceptible to reduction.
摘要:
A recombinant enzyme, having a molecular weight of about 57,000-67,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE and a pI of about 4.1-5.1 on isoelectrophoresis, which converts maltose into trehalose and vice versa. Depending on the enzymatic conditions, the enzyme forms about 70 w/w % of trehalose when acts on maltose, while about 20 w/w % of maltose when acts on trehalose. The culture of a transformant, prepared by introducing into a host a recombinant DNA containing a DNA coding for the enzyme and a self-replicable vector, facilitates the industrial-scale production of trehalose.
摘要:
Insertion of IFN-alpha promoters in recombinant DNAs improves their expression efficiencies for useful polypeptides. Expression of such a recombinant DNA in host cells of mammalian origin is artificially controllable by the presence and absence of external stimuli using IFN-alpha inducers. Thus, transformants with such a recombinant DNA readily increase to a maximized cell density with causing neither damages nor extinction due to polypeptides they produce, and subsequent exposure to IFN-alpha inducers allows the proliferated cells to efficiently produce polypeptides with significant glycosylations.
摘要:
Disclosed are a DNA encoding an enzyme which releases trehalose from non-reducing saccharides having a trehalose structure as an end unit and having a degree of glucose polymerization of 3 or higher, recombinant DNA and enzyme, transformant, and their preparations and uses. These facilitate the industrial-scale production of trehalose with a relative easiness and low cost, and trehalose thus obtained can be satisfactorily used in a variety of food products, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
