摘要:
The present invention provides a process for producing trans-L-hydroxyproline, which comprises culturing a microorganism which is capable of decomposing amino acids other than trans-L-hydroxyproline but which is substantially incapable of decomposing trans-L-hydroxyproline in a culture medium containing collagen hydrolyzate, and recovering trans-L-hydroxyproline from the resulting culture.The process enhances the content of trans-L-hydroxyproline based on the total weight of amino acids contained in collagen hydrolyzate, and enables efficient production of trans-L-hydroxyproline which is useful as a starting material for the synthesis of medicines.

Disclosed is a method for transformation of microorganisms belonging to the genera Corynebacterium and Brevibacterium whereby a foreign DNA may be introduced into a host cell and autonomously replicated.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for producing an optically active 4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid, by mixing glyoxylic acid, pyruvic acid and a microorganism to form the optically active 4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid in an aqueous medium.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bacterial process for producing L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine or L-phenylalanine. The process utilizes a coryneform glutamic acid-producing bacterium being capable of producing L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine or L-phenylalanine and also decreased or lacked in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity. The mutant strain is then cultured in order to accumulate the amino acid in a medium and the amino acid is recovered therefrom.
摘要:
Disclosed are a process for producing 4-hydroxy-L-proline by the conversion of 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutaric acid in an aqueous medium in the presence of an amino group donor and an enzyme source belonging to the genus Escherichia and capable of converting 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutaric acid into 4-hydroxy-L-proline; and a microorganism which belongs to the genus Escherichia, holds a recombinant DNA incorporating a gene coding for .gamma.-glutamylkinase released from the feedback inhibition caused by L-proline, and contains the above enzyme source.
摘要:
The present invention provides a recombinant DNA comprised of a vector DNA and a DNA fragment containing a gene coding for .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase derived from Bacillus subtilis. The invention also provides a process for producing .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase, which comprises culturing in a culture medium a microorganism belonging to the genus Bacillus which is carrying recombinant DNA comprised of a vector DNA and DNA fragment which contains a gene coding for .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase derived from the genus Bacillus, accumulating .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase in the culture, and recovering .gamma.-glutamyl transpeptidase therefrom.
摘要:
L-arginine is produced by constructing a recombinant DNA composed of a vector DNA and a DNA fragment derived from chromosomal DNA of a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and bearing genetic information relating to the synthesis of L-arginine-biosynthetic enzyme, introducing the recombinant DNA in a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium, culturing the microorganism in a medium, and recovering L-arginine accumulated in the culture broth.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel plasmids which can replicate autonomously in microorganisms belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and which carry a gene for resistance to streptomycin and/or spectinomycin. The plasmids are useful as a cloning vector.
摘要:
High yields of L-glutamic acid are produced by culturing mutant strains of microorganisms of the genera Pseudomonas and Protaminobacter in a culture medium containing methanol as the principal source of assimilable carbon. L-glutamic acid is accumulated in the culture liquor and is isolated therefrom.
