摘要:
The present invention relates to a solid medium containing as a medium-solidifying component a cellulose gel, in particular a cellulose gel which is a porous cellulose gel structure containing cellulose as the skeletal part and having a cellulose concentration of 0.01% or higher and a porosity of 50% or higher, as well as a process for producing the same. The solid medium of the invention can be obtained by dispersing cellulose in a solvent, especially an aqueous thiocyanate salt solution, stirring and/or heating the dispersion to dissolve the cellulose, subsequently cooling the solution and/or removing the solvent to cause the solution to gel, and permeating nutrients into the resultant cellulose gel. The solid medium usable under a wide range of culture conditions where conventional solid media such as agar medium cannot be used, as well as a method for producing the same is provided.

A new deoxyribonuclease (DNase) having preservability and high temperature stability is provided by cultivating a new strain M-26 of the genus Bacillus in an alkaline culture medium. The DNase has such a specificity that it very selectively cleaves phosphodiester bonds between deoxyguanosine and deoxyguanosine in a molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) while leaving phosphate groups at the 5'-position.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing magnetic powder comprising homogeneous and fine particles using an alkali-producing enzyme. The object of the present invention is to provide a method suitable for preparing magnetic powder comprising relatively small particles, for instance, fine particles having a particle size ranging from 50 to 500 nm. The present invention relates to a method for preparing at least one member selected from the group consisting of iron oxides, iron hydroxides and iron oxyhydroxides which comprises the step of alkalizing a solution containing iron ions utilizing an alkali-producing enzyme and a substrate of the enzyme.According to the present invention, there can be produced magnetite (Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4) and maghemite (gamma-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3) useful as magnetic powder as well as goethite (alpha-FeO(OH)), hematite (alpha-Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3) and lepidocrocite (gamma-FeO(OH)) useful as the starting materials thereof. The magnetic powder can be used as the materials for magnetic recording and magnetic fluid; carriers for bioreactors; those for magnetic separation of cells and biopolymers; and those for microcarriers of medicines.
