N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine can be produced by cultivating a fungus capable of producing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, such as Trichoderma hamatum AB10282 strain (FERM BP-10623) or Trichoderma harzianum AB10283 strain (FERM BP-10624), in a culture medium supplemented with a carbon source other than chitin and chitin oligosaccharide and a nitrogen source to produce and accumulate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in the culture medium and then collecting N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from the culture medium.

Provided are novel processes for the efficient production of L-epi-2-inosose and epi-inositol which are useful either as various medicines or intermediates for the syntheses of various medicines. In the processes, inexpensive myo-inositol is used as a starting compound which is reacted with a gram-negative bacterium capable of converting myo-inositol into L-epi-2-inosose, and thereby producing L-epi-2-inosose by conversion of myo-inositol into L-epi-2-inosose. A biologically pure culture of Pseudomonas sp. AB 10215 strain is also provided which has a characteristic nature of being capable of converting myo-inositol into L-epi-2-inosose.
摘要:
It is intended to provide a novel NAD+-independent myo-inositol 2-dehydrogenase which converts myo-inositol into scyllo-inosose in the absence of NAD+; a novel enzyme scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase which stereospecifically reduces scyllo-inosose into scyllo-inositol in the presence of NADH or NADPH; and a novel microorganism which belongs to the genus Acetobacter or Burkholderia and can convert myo-inositol into scyllo-inositol. By using these enzymes or the microorganism, scyllo-inositol is produced. Furthermore, scyllo-inositol is purified by adding boric acid and a metal salt to a liquid mixture containing scyllo-inositol and a neutral saccharide other than scyllo-inositol to form a scyllo-inositol/boric acid complex, separating the complex from the liquid mixture, dissolving the thus separated complex in an acid to give an acidic solution or an acidic suspension and then purifying scyllo-inositol from the acidic solution or the acidic suspension.
摘要:
An exposure apparatus includes an exposure device for exposing an exposure area of a substrate to a pattern of a mask, wherein the mask pattern is provided on the basis of a design pattern, and the mask pattern deviates in at least one of position, size and shape, from the design pattern, and a detector for detecting the deviation of the mask pattern from the design pattern and for producing a detection output. The exposure device is responsive to the output of the detector to effect an exposure operation to compensate for the pattern deviation.
摘要:
An illumination system includes a light source device including a light source and a reflection mirror for reflecting light from the light source, and an optical system, including a plurality of lenses, for illuminating a surface with light from the light source device. A shadow of the light source is projected from the light source device in a direction inclined with respect to an optical axis of the optical system such that the shadow of the light source is not substantially projected on the surface through the optical system.

A scanning exposure apparatus includes a first movable stage being movable while carrying a first object thereon, a second movable stage being movable while carrying a second object thereon, a projection optical system for projecting a pattern, a control system serviceable to scan the first and second movable stages in a timed relation and relative to the projection optical system and to project a pattern of the first object onto the second object through the projection optical system, a first reference plate fixedly mounted on the first movable stage, a second reference plate fixedly mounted on the second movable stage, and a detecting system serviceable to scan at least one of the first and second movable stages to detect a relative positional relationship between alignment marks of the first and second reference plates to thereby determine a scan direction of one of the first and second movable stages.
摘要:
A projection exposure apparatus includes a projection lens system for projecting an image of a pattern of an original on a substrate having a photosensitive layer, by using a sensitizing beam; a first detection optical system for detecting a mark of the substrate through the projection lens system and with a first non-sensitizing beam, the first detection optical system producing first information related to the position of the mark; a second detection optical system for detecting the mark of the substrate without the projection lens system and with a second nonsensitizing beam having a bandwidth broader than that of the first non-sensitizing beam, the second detection optical system producing second information related to the position of the mark; and a detector for detecting an error included in the first information, by using the first and second information.
