The present invention relates to a process for producing aclacinomycins A and B. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a process for producing selectively aclacinomycins A and B in high yield without formation of cinerubins A and B, by means of a fermentation process, utilizing Streptomyces galilaeus OBB-731.
摘要:
The present invention provides a genetically engineered microorganism belonging to the genus Gluconobacter or Acetobacter, which has an engineered gene for the biological activity of reducing L-sorbose which is more than 90% non-functional in developing the said biological activity. The engineered microorganism is derived from a microorganism belonging to the genus Gluconobacter or Acetobacter, and has the biological activity for reducing L-sorbose that is less than 10% of the amount of the activity of the wild type organism. The present invention further provides a method for producing the genetically engineered microorganism by mutating the gene of a microorganism of the genus Gluconobacter or Acetobacter which encodes a protein having the L-sorbose reductase activity, determining the L-sorbose reductase activity of the resulting microorganism with the mutated gene and selecting the genetically engineered microorganism having L-sorbose reductase activity that is less than 10% of the amount of the activity of the wild type microorganism.
摘要:
A process for the enzymatic production of vitamin B.sub.6 which includes incubating 1-deoxy-D-threo-pentulose and 4-hydroxy-L-threonine with an enzyme system that is cell free or essentially cell free and prepared from the cells of a microorganism belonging to the genus Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Flavobacterium, Chryseobacterium, Lactobacillus, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Klebsiella, Escherichia, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Enterobacter, Serratia, Corynebacterium, Brevibacterium, Exiguobacterium, Saccharomyces, Yamadazyma, Pichia or Candida, in the presence of NADP.sup.+, NAD.sup.+, ATP. Manganese and magnesium ions stimulate the above reaction. This process affords high yields of vitamin B.sub.6, a vitamin essential for the nutrition of animals, plants and microorganisms, and which is also useful as a medicine or food additive. In addition, an enzyme reaction system for producing vitamin B.sub.6 and a process for making the enzyme reaction system are also provided.
摘要:
A process for producing d-biotin comprises cultivating a microorganism of the genus Kurthia and which is resistant to biotin antimetabolites and capable of producing d-biotin in a medium under aerobic conditions, and separating the resulting d-biotin from the fermentation broth. The cultivation medium suitably contains an assimilable carbon source, a digestible nitrogen source, inorganic salts and other nutrients necessary for the growth of the microorganism at a pH of about 5-9, temperature of about 10-40.degree. C. and for a duration of about 1-10 days. The preferred microorganism are Kurthia sp. 538-KA26, 538-17H4, 538-51F9 and 538-2A 13 (DSM No. 10609, 10608, 10610 and 10607, respectively), which are also new, and as such represent a further aspect of the present invention. The so-produced d-biotin is one of the essential vitamins for the nutrition of animals, plants and microorganisms, and is important as a medicine or food additive. It is produced in particularly high yield by the process of the present invention.
