摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the production of 9.alpha.-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione from natural sterols of plant or animal origin or from mixtures thereof by the submerged aerobic fermentation of an enzyme-deficient, sterol-de-grading microorganism in a nutrient medium containing utilizable carbon and nitrogen sources as well as mineral salts, and by isolating the product formed, which comprises transforming the sterol or sterol mixture with the culture of a 1,2-steroid-dehydrogenase deficient strain of new Mycobacterium roseum species which is able to degrade the side-chain of natural sterols, preferably with Mycobacterium roseum sp. nov. 1108/1 deposited at the National Collection of Agricultural and Industrial Microorganisms, Budapest, Hungary under the number NCAIM B (P) 000339, and by isolating and purifying the 9.alpha.-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione obtained.

The invention relates to a process for the production of a fermentation broth with increased vitamin B.sub.12 content by a fermentation process carried out with a methane-producing mixed bacterium population under anaerobic septic conditions in the presence of known nutrient components and precursors. According to the invention, methanol, preferably in an amount of 0.5 v/v %, is added for some days, preferably for 3 days to the fermentation broth containing vitamin B.sub.12 used as the starting substance. Thereafter a minor part, preferably 10% of the fermentation broth, is removed and an equal volume of a nutrient broth containing the usual components in tenfold concentrations is added periodically in every 5th to 12th day, then the removal of fermentation broth is interrupted for 0 to 2 days, preferably for 1 day, and only 0.4 to 1.5 v/v% of methanol are added to the fermentation broth, and subsequently a minor part, preferably 10% of the fermentation broth, is removed daily and an equal volume of a nutrient broth containing the usual components in the usual concentrations is added together with 0.4 to 1.5 v/v % of methanol, depending on the biogas production of the fermentation broth. This series of operations is repeated periodically during the complete fermentation procedure taking into consideration the pH of the fermentation broth.

The invention relates to a novel cosmetic and paramedicinal active ingredient composition, particularly with an antiinflammatory and skin-calming effect, which comprises0.005 to 5.0% by weight of an aqueous-ethanolic extract of Marigold,0.005 to 2.0% by weight of an aqueous-ethanolic extract of Horse-chestnut0.005 to 2.0% by weight of an aqueous-ethanolic extract of Licorice (sweet-root),0.005 to 2.0% by weight of an aqueous Silver-weed extract,0.005 to 2.0% by weight of an aqueous extract of Walnut-tree leaves,0.002 to 1.0% by weight of Lavender resinoid and0.001 to 0.2% by weight of Roman camomile oilas calculated for the total weight; as well as85 to 99% by weight of a 35 to 60% by weight ethanol-water mixture as carrier.The above preparation serves as a base material for excellent cosmetic compositions, curative cosmetics and curative products.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for increasing the vitamin B.sub.12 production of fermentation processes performed in a known way with a mixed population of mesophilic methane-producing bacteria under anaerobic conditions. According to the invention in an enrichment period of preferably 4 to 7 days a nutrient concentrate containing mainly inorganic ammonium compounds as nitrogen source and mainly methanol as carbon source and having a N:C weight ratio of 1:10 to 1:20, preferably 1:11 to 1:15 is added in daily portions to a fermentation broth obtained from a usual vitamin B.sub.12 fermentation process and containing living bacterium populations so as to increase the total concentration of assimilable nitrogen by a factor of maximum 4 until the end of the enrichment period, and thereafter the fermentation is terminated and the obtained fermentation broth with an increased vitamin B.sub.12 content is processed, or the fermentation is continued by periodically removing a portion of the fermentation broth and supplementing it with a same volume of fresh nutrient medium containing mainly inorganic ammonium compounds as nitrogen source and mainly methanol as carbon source and having a N:C weight ratio of 1:10 to 1:20, preferably 1:11 to 1:15.By this process fermentation broths with as high vitamin B.sub.12 concentration as 40.000 mcg./l. can be obtained.
