摘要:
A method of modifying a target region in a host DNA using a donor DNA: wherein the donor DNA having regions homologous to a 5′-side region outside of the target region in the host DNA, a 3′-side region outside of the target region in the host DNA and a first homologous recombination region inside of the target region in the host DNA, respectively, in this order, and further having a first selectable marker gene, an expression-inducing promoter and a second selectable marker gene expressed under the control of the expression-inducing promoter between the region homologous to the 3′-side region and the region homologous to the first homologous recombination region; which method has the steps of: a first step of performing homologous recombination between the donor DNA and the host DNA at the regions of the 5′-side region and the first homologous recombination region, to conduct selection of a host integrated with the donor DNA based on expression of the first selectable marker gene; and a second step of performing homologous recombination, within the host DNA integrated with the donor DNA by the first step, between two regions of the 3′-side region derived from the host DNA and the 3′-side region derived from the donor DNA, to conduct selection of a host whose target region is modified based on expression of the second selectable marker gene under an expression-inducing condition for the expression-inducing promoter: and a selectable marker cassette for use in the method.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a liquefying alkaline .alpha.-amylase having the enzymatic properties described below, a production process thereof and a detergent composition containing the same.1) Action:It hydrolyzes .alpha.-1,4-glucosidic linkages in starches, amylose, amylopectin and partial degradation products thereof and from amylose, forms glucose (G1), maltose (G2), maltotriose (G3), maltotetraose (G4), maltopentaose (G5) and maltohexaose (G6). It however does not act on pullulan.2) Isoelectric point:It has an isoelectric point higher than 8.5 when measured by an isoelectric focusing electrophoresis.The amylase according to the present invention has a liquefying activity capable of permitting degrading starches and starchy polysaccharides at high random, and has an optimum pH on the alkaline side. Owing to the high isoelectric point, it can be purified readily. Detergents with the amylase incorporated therein have excellent detergency especially against the soil of smeared food.
摘要:
An isolated alkaline pullulanase Y having .alpha.-amylase activity; a microorganism producing the alkaline pullulanase Y; and a process for producing the alkaline pullulanase Y are disclosed. The alkaline pullulanase Y having .alpha.-amylase activity has its optimum pH at higher alkaline range than conventional alkaline pullulanases and exhibits excellent stability in a wide pH range. Further, the alkaline pullulanase Y has strong resistance to almost all detergent components such as surfactants, chelating agents, proteases for detergents, and the like. Thus the alkaline pullulanase Y can advantageously be used as a detergent component.
摘要:
A novel alkaline pullulanase; a microorganism producing the alkaline pullulanase; and a process for producing the alkaline pullulanase are disclosed. The alkaline pullulanase of the present invention has a higher optimum pH range (pH 9.5-11) than conventional alkaline pullulanases and shows excellent stability in a wider pH range. It has also an optimum temperature of higher than 50.degree. C. and is thermally stable up to 40.degree. C. The alkaline pullulanase has also strong reistance to almost all detergent components such as surfactants, chelating agents, proteases for detergents, and the like. The alkaline pullulanase can advantageously be used as a detergent component. Also, it can be utilized for producing many kinds of oligosaccharides and also together with .alpha.-amylase for producing various monosaccharides.
摘要:
Novel alkali-resistant cellulases which have an optimum pH at a neutral region and have a high relative activity in an alkaline region are produced by microorganisms belonging to the genus Bacillus and growing in neutral medium.The cellulases suffer little inhibition by means of detergent ingredients such as surface active agents, proteinases and chelating agents. Therefore, they can be conveniently used as one of ingredients for detergent compositions.
