Abstract:
L-Glutamic acid is produced by culturing a coryneform bacterium having L-glutamic acid producing ability, in which trehalose synthesis ability is decreased or deleted by, for example, disrupting the otsA gene derived from a coryneform bacterium source, coding for trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, to produce and accumulate L-glutamic acid in the medium, and collecting the L-glutamic acid from the medium.
Abstract:
A coryneform bacterium which has an L-glutamic acid-producing ability and grows at least at the same growth rate as a non-mutated strain or a wild-type strain and has intracellular α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity which is less than half that of the non-mutated or wild-type strain, and is obtained by introducing a mutation into a coding region or an expression control region of the chromosomal odhA gene encoding the E1o subunit of the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for perforating a heat sensitive stencil sheet having a heat shrinkable film, the film is selectively heated with a heating device to form independent dot perforations corresponding to an image, and the heating device is controlled to ensure that the perforations satisfy the following formula (1): p≧d+({square root over ( )}2)f (1) where p denotes a scanning pitch in a main scanning direction or a sub scanning direction; d denotes an inner diameter of a perforation in the same direction as p; and f denotes a width of a rim of said perforation at a portion that is not merged with any rims of its adjacent perforations. Irregularity of perforation configuration is decreased, size of perforations is kept adequate, and the heating device does not have to be heated to a high temperature.
Abstract:
When thermally perforating a thermoplastic resin film of heat-sensitive stencil material by the use of a thermal head, supply of energy to the thermal head is cut at a time the diameter of the perforations becomes not smaller than 65% and not larger than 95% of a target diameter of the perforations.
Abstract:
A perforation pattern is provided with a stencil plate, which is decreased in perforation configuration irregularity and has an adequate size of perforations. The stencil plate is produced from a heat sensitive stencil sheet having a heat shrinkable film by selectively heating the film with a heating device to form independent dot perforations corresponding to an image in the film, and each of the perforations has a through hole and a rim surrounding the through hole and bulging on a heated side of the film, and the rim has a height that satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2): h≦4(&mgr;m) (1) h≦0.05{square root over ( )}(pxpy) (&mgr;m) (2) where h denotes the height (&mgr;m) in reference to the surface of the film before heated, px and py respectively denote pitches (&mgr;m) in main and sub scanning directions of the heating device.
Abstract:
A stencil is made by thermally perforating a stencil material by the use of a thick film thermal head. The thermal head includes an electrical insulating substrate and a glaze layer superposed on a heat radiating plate in this order, a resistance heater formed on the glaze layer to continuously extend in a main scanning direction, a plurality of electrodes of at least two lines which extend in a direction intersecting the main scanning direction in contact with the resistance heater and are alternately arranged in the main scanning direction, and a protective layer which covers exposed part of the resistance heater and the electrodes. The resistance heater is not smaller than lam and not larger than 1 &mgr;m in thickness, and the space between each pair of adjacent electrodes in the main scanning direction is not smaller than 20% and not larger than 60% of the center distance between the adjacent electrodes. The stencil material is conveyed by a conveyor in a sub-scanning direction relative to the thermal head with the stencil material kept in contact with the thermal head. The thermal head and the conveyor are controlled so that the length in the sub-scanning direction of the resistance heater at the portion between each pair of adjacent electrodes is not smaller than 100% and not larger than 250% of the sub-scanning pitch.

Abstract:
A coryneform bacterium in which a DNA fragment is incorporated into its chromosome is prepared by (a) obtaining a recombinant plasmid through ligation of a DNA fragment having a sequence homologous to a gene present on a chromosome of a coryneform bacterium to a plasmid that has a wild-type replication control region segment of a particular nucleotide sequence including a mutation and is autonomously replicable in a coryneform bacterium cell at a culture temperature lower than 31° C. but not autonomously replicable in the cell at a temperature of 31° C. or higher, (b) introducing the recombinant plasmid into the coryneform bacterium cell, (c) culturing the bacterium at a temperature of 31° C. or higher, (d) causing homologous recombination between the DNA fragment and the gene present on the chromosome of the coryneform bacterium and having a sequence homologous to the DNA fragment, and (e) selecting a coryneform bacterium in which the DNA fragment is incorporated into its chromosome. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for efficiently modifying genetic traits of a host in a short period of time by obtaining a temperature sensitive plasmid from a plasmid not exhibiting homology with already reported temperature sensitive plasmids or not exhibiting incompatibility therewith.
