摘要:
The present invention provides a method for industrially advantageously producing (S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid and for producing compounds which are formed by biosynthesis from the precursor (S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid, for example, for producing the compounds (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-L-glutamic acid and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-L-proline, using a recombinant microorganism carrying a recombinant DNA harboring the DNA fragment encoding 4(S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid aldolase gene.
摘要:
An enzymatic process is presented for reducing the cholesterol level of foods and feeds by converting the cholesterol therein to coprostanol which has a very low intestinal tract absorbability. Cholesterol in meat, egg, milk, seafood and cooked processed foods containing the same, or feeds for animals, poultry, and pisiculture can be reduced by the sequential action of three enzymes isolated from a eubacterium: cholesterol dehydrogenase, 4-cholesten-3-one dehydrogenase and coprostan-3-one dehydrogenase.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bacterial process for producing L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine or L-phenylalanine. The process utilizes a coryneform glutamic acid-producing bacterium being capable of producing L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine or L-phenylalanine and also decreased or lacked in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity. The mutant strain is then cultured in order to accumulate the amino acid in a medium and the amino acid is recovered therefrom.
摘要:
There is provided a process for producing L-valine which comprises cultivating, in a medium, a microorganism which belongs to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium, which exhibits a) an ability to produce L-valine, b) resistance to L-valine in a medium containing acetic acid as a sole carbon source, and c) sensitivity to a pyruvic acid analog in a medium containing glucose as a sole carbon source, until L-valine is accumulated in the culture broth, and recovering L-valine therefrom.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for expressing a gene and producing a metabolic product formed by the gene by culturing a transformant microorganism carrying a recombinant DNA constructed of a DNA fragment having at least one gene to be expressed and a vector DNA, at least one of which is foreign to the host microorganism.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for producing histidine by transforming a host microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium with a recombinant DNA of a DNA fragment containing a gene involved in the biosynthesis of histidine and a vector DNA, culturing the transformant in a nutrient medium, accumulating histidine in the culture medium and recovering histidine therefrom.
摘要:
A novel lysozyme-sensitive microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and having a sensitivity to lysozyme at a concentration of less than 25 .mu.g/ml is provided from selected mutants. This novel microorganism is especially suitable for use in recombinant DNA technology.
