Abstract:
Adenosine-3'',5''-cyclic monophosphoric acid is produced by fermentation of a nutrient medium, containing a fluoride, by a microorganism which is capable of producing the nucleotide. The adenosine-3'',5''-cyclic monophosphoric acid is accumulated in the culture medium and is thereafter recovered therefrom.
Abstract:
L-histidine is produced by fermentation of an aqueous nutrient media, wherein the ratio of the nitrogen source to the carbon source is at least 5:100, with organisms of the genera Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter, Micrococcus, Bacillus, Nocardia and Microbacterium.
Abstract:
An aqueous culture medium comprising (1) 3 to 35 grams per liter of alkali metal, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, strontium nitrate and/or beryllium nitrate; (2) 0.3 to 10 grams per liter of alkali metal phosphate; (3) 1 to 15 grams per liter of an alkali metal acetate, calcium acetate, magnesium acetate, strontium acetate and/or beryllium acetate; and (4) a nutrient source; and a process for the production of an alpha,omegaalkanedioic acid of 10 to 16 carbon atoms comprising (1) introducing a mutated strain of Corynebacterium into a composition which has a pH of from 6 to 9 and which comprises 1 to 50 percent by volume of an n-alkane of 10 to 16 carbon atoms and a complemental amount of the culture medium above; (2) maintaining the composition at a temperature between 20* and 45*C. for 48 t0 96 hours; and (3) separating the alpha,omegaalkanedioic acid from the resulting mixture.
Abstract:
Ribosyl phosphates of 2-substituted 6-amino purine derivatives are produced by fermentation of an aqueous nutrient medium containing a 2-substituted 6-amino purine derivative or the riboside thereof by organisms of the genera Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter and Micrococcus.
Abstract:
Processes for producing citric acid together with microbial cells as well as producing increased yields of citric acid and/or isocitric acid by fermentation are described. Hydrocarbonassimilating microorganisms are employed in media containing hydrocarbons as the main carbon source. The addition of alcohols, such as C1-C20 saturated alcohols, to the medium permits the accumulation of citric acid together with the obtained microbial cells. The addition of ferrocyanides, such as potassium or sodium ferrocyanide, to the medium enhances the yield of isocitric acid, while the addition of monofluoroacetic acid or a salt thereof to the medium enhances the yield of citric acid.
Abstract:
A process for producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which comprises culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium, Micrococcus or Arthrobacter in an aqueous nutrient medium containing adenine, a derivative of adenine, such as adenosine or adenylic acid, or a substance containing the same, accumulating ATP and ADP therein and recovering the products. The yield may be increased by including at least about 0.4 percent by weight of PO4 as inorganic phosphate in the medium.
Abstract:
Certain microorganisms of genus Brevibacterium, Coryne-bacterium and Arthrobacter produce L-isoleucine directly from glucose or acetic acid in the culture medium.
Abstract:
L-PHENYLALANINE IS PRODUCED IN SUBSTANTIAL YIELD BY FERMENTATION FROM AN L-PHENYLALANINE-PRODUCING STRAIN OF CORYNEFORM GLUTAMIC ACID-PRODUCING BACTERIA REPRESENTED BY CORYNEBACTERIUM GLUTAMICUM. SPECIFICALLY MUTATED STRAINS OF THE ABOVE NOTED BACTERIA THAT EXHIBIT RESISTANCE TO AT LEAST ONE COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TYROSINE, PHENYLALANINE AND ANALOGUES THEREOF AND EXHIBIT A TYROSINE REQUIREMENT, PRODUCE LARGE AMOUNTS OF L-PHENYLALANINE WHEN CULTURED IN A SUITABLE NUTRIENT MEDIUM.
Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS FOR PREPARING ANALOGUS OF CHLORAMPHENICOL, CHARACTERIZED BY CULTURING A MICROORGANISM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING D-THREO-2-PROPINOAMIDO-1-P-NITROPHENYL-1,3-PROPANEDIOL (HEREINAFTER DESIGNATED AS SUBSTANCE A) AND/OR D-THREO-2-ISOBUTYRAMIDO-1-P-NITROPHENYL-1,3-PROPANEDIOL (HEREINAFTER DESIGNATED AS SUBSTANCE B), UNDER AEROBIC CONDITIONS IN A CULTURE MEDIUM CONTAINING ASSIMILABLE CARBON SOURCES TO FORM AND ACCUMULATE SAID ANALOGUES OF CHLORAMPHENICOL THEREIN AND ISOLATING AND RECOVERING THE SAME THEREFROM.
