摘要:
Disclosed is an antitumorigenic protein derived from fruit bodies of matsutake mushrooms (Tricholoma matsutake). Also disclosed is a method of preparing the antitumorigenic protein comprising extracting fruit bodies of matsutake mushrooms with water followed by subjecting the resulting extract to purification composed of combination of the following three purifying steps in any desired order:(1) a step of purifying the protein by molecular sieve chromatography in a gel permeation column;(2) a step of bringing the extract in contact with an anion exchange resin so that the protein is adsorbed to the resin followed by eluting the protein from the column of the resin with an eluent; and(3) a step of bringing the extract in contact with a hydrophobic chromatographic resin so that the protein is adsorbed to the resin followed by eluting the protein from the column of the resin with an eluent.Further disclosed is an antitumorigenic composition to human and animal epithelial cancer, which contains the protein as an active component.
摘要:
Biologically pure culture of Aureobasidium sp. SN-124A strain (FERM BP-1429) and artificial mutants thereof according to the present invention show the properties of forming and accumulating erythritol in a culture solution, when aerobically cultured on a liquid culture medium containing an assimilable carbon source and an assimilable nitrogen source, and are useful for the preparation of erythritol by fermentation of sugars. A method for preparing erythritol by fermentation of sugars according to the present invention comprises inoculating microorganism selected from the group consisting of Aureobasidium sp. SN-124A strain (FERM BP-1429) and mutants thereof on a liquid culture medium of pH 4 to 9 containing an assimilable carbon source and an assimilable nitrogen source, and aerobically culturing them at a temperature of 30.degree. to 38.degree. C. to form and accumulate erythritol in said culture medium for collection.

摘要:
Di-N-acetyl-D-chitobiose, which is easily available as a chitin decomposate or a chemical reagent, is reacted with a microorganisms-derived deacetylase to produce 2-acetylamino-4-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-D-glucose of formula (1). ##STR1## The method is quantitative and efficiently produces the compound (1). The compound (1) and its salts are usable as substrates for measuring enzymatic activities, and also as starting substances in the production of various food materials and in the field of glyco-chain engineering.
摘要:
A process for enzymatic preparation of cellooligosaccharide from a cellulose-base substance by the action of cellulase produced by an microorganism belonging to the Genus Cellvibrio, wherein an ultrafiltration reactor is used in combination, so that production inhibition can be removed and cellooligosaccharide can be formed and accumulated. The present process permits preparation of cellobiose in high yield and is very advantageous from an industrial standpoint.
摘要:
Different from conventional heterogeneous multiple-branched cyclodextrins having branches derived from the same kind of saccharide molecule, the inventive heterogeneous multiple-branched cyclodextrin has branches derived from different kinds of saccharides of, one, glucose and, the other, a maltooligosaccharide. The inventive heterogeneous multiple-branched cyclodextrins are more stable than conventional ones and useful as an ingredient of medical, foodstuff and cosmetic preparations. The heterogeneous multiple-branched cyclodextrin can be prepared from a mixture of a maltooligosaccharide and a glucosyl cyclodextrin by the reverse action of debranching enzyme.
摘要:
A modified enzyme having a reduced maltopentaose decomposing activity and improvements in practical usability was provided by a gene coding for .alpha.-amylase highly producing maltopentaose, the .alpha.-amylase comprising an amino acid sequence where an amino acid residue at 57- or 139-position has been substituted in the amino acid sequence of maltopentaose-forming amylase derived from Pseudomonas sp. KO-8940 (Shida, O. et al., Biosci. Biotech. Biochem. Vol. 56, 76-80 (1992)).
摘要:
A continuous liquid pasteurizing apparatus and method for effectively pasteurizing microbes or bacteria having heat-resistance and/or pressure-resistance, such as sporangium, with low temperature or by maintaining a high temperature for a short time, wherein an electricity conducting unit (9) for pasteurizing the liquid is provided within a pressurized container (1), and an upper end portion of the electricity conducting unit(9)is connected to a supply opening (3)for liquid, while a lower end portion thereof is connected to a reservoir portion(10)which is cooled by a cooling mechanism involving heat exchange with cooling water(7). The thus-pasteurized liquid is reserved in a reservoir portion (10)and is taken out from an outlet opening(4)through a conduit (11)outside the container(1).
