摘要:
The present invention describes two novel proteins having fructosyltransferase activity. Both enzymes are derived from lactobacilli, which are food-grade micro-organisms with the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status. One of these proteins produces an inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides, while the other produces a levan and fructo-oligosaccharides. According to the invention lactobacilli capable of producing an inulin and/or a levan and/or fructo-oligosaccharides using one or both of the fructosyltransferases can be used as a probiotic or a symbiotic.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an isolated nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein comprising (1) the A subunit of Shiga-like bacterial toxin, or a truncated or mutated version thereof; and (2) human vascular endothelial growth factor, or a truncated or mutated version thereof; wherein the fusion protein possesses ribosome inactivating activity and ability to bind to cellular VEGF receptors. The present invention is also directed to polypeptides the above combination of toxin and growth factor, as well as expression vectors and transformed cells incorporating the above nucleic acid. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating patients suffering from diseases relating to angiogenesis.
摘要:
The present invention provides the D-aminoacylase-encoding gene derived from Hypomyces mycophilus, a filamentous fungus, the polypeptide encoded by the gene, and the homologues thereof. The D-aminoacylase of the present invention is capable of producing D-tryptophan from N-acetyl-D-tryptophan. D-tryptophan is useful as a medicinal raw material or the like.
摘要:
The invention relates to biocatalysts showing alcohol dehydrogenase activity obtainable from Rhodococcus ruber, their preparation, their use in the oxidation of secondary alcohols and/or the reduction of ketones, as well as nucleic acids coding for these alcohol dehydrogenases and microorganisms transformed with nucleic acids coding for these biocatalysts and their use for producing the biocatalyst or oxidizing secondary alcohols and/or reducing ketones.
摘要:

The techniques of the subject invention can be used to obtain products from native pathways as well as from recombinant pathways. In preferred embodiments, the subject invention provides new materials and methods for the efficient production of acetate and pyruvic acid.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of increasing the production of aromatic carboxylic acids from a host cell via manipulation of the yhcRQP operon encoding a family of efflux proteins. Up-regulation of all or a sub-set of the genes in the yhcRQP were additionally found to enhance tolerance to aromatic carboxylic acids toxicity.
摘要:
Methods for producing a mutacin, by growing a mutacin-producing cell in a liquid medium under conditions in which mutacin is produced and isolating mutacin from the liquid medium. Methods are also provided for isolating and purifying mutacin I/III from fermentation broths of Streptococcus mutans strains CH43 and UA787 to homogeneity. Fermentation are conducted in anaerobic bioreactors under anaerobic conditions at a cultivation temperature of about 35-42null C., with agitation rate of between 50-250 rpm.
