摘要:
MANY YEASTS AND BACTERIA ARE CAPABLE OF GROWTH ON OTHERWISE CONVENTIONAL CULTURE MEDIA WHICH CONTAIN ETHANOL AS THE PRINCIPAL SOURCE OF CARBON, AND PRODUCE L-GLUTAMIC ACID WHICH MAY BE RECOVERED IN COMMERCIALLY USEFUL AMOUNTS. THE MEDIUM SHOULD CONTAIN NO MORE THAN 10% ETHANOL FOR GOOD YIELDS, AND THE ETHANOL CONTENT MAY BE REPLENISHED BY MIXING THE ETHANOL WITH THE AERATION GAS.
摘要:
A METHOD OF FERMENTATION UTILIZING A MULTI-STAGE FERMENTING DEVICE, WHICH COMPRISES THE STEP OF CULTURING MICRO-ORGANISMS AEROBICALLY OR ANAEROBICALLY, IN A DEVICE COMPRISING A VERTICAL STACK OF COMPARTMENTS SEPARATED BY HORIZONTAL PLATES PROVIDED WITH ONE OR MORE HOLES BY INTRODUCING GAS AND CULTURE MEDIUM FROM THE BOTTOM AND
MAINTAINING A LAYER OF GAS BENEATH EACH PLATE WHICH PREVENTS BACKFLOW OF MEDIUM FROM ANY COMPARTMENT TO ONE THEREBELOW.
摘要:
ARTIFICIALLY INDUCED MUTANTS OF THE GLUTAMIC ACID PRODUCING MICROORGANISMS BREVIBACTERIUM KETOGLUTAMICUM, CORYNEBACTERIUM HYDROCARBOCLASTUS, AND ARTHROBACTER PARAFFINEUS WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF GROWING ON AN AGAR MEDIUM CONTAINING SUBSTANCES HAVING PENICILLIN ACTIVITY IN AN AMOUNT CORRESPONDING TO MORE THAN 5 INTERNATIONAL OR U.S.P. PENICILLIN UNITS PER MILLILITER HAVE BEEN FOUND CAPABLE OF ASSIMILATING HYDROCARBONS AND THEIR OXIDATION PRODUCTS AS THE PRINCIPAL SOURCE OF CARBON FROM A NUTRIENT MEDIUM CONTAINING PENICILLIN-ACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS, AND TO CONVERT THE ADDIMILATED MATERIAL TO L-GLUTAMIC ACID RELATIVELY RAPIDLY UNTIL CONCENTRATIONS OF MORE THAN 7 G./DL. ARE REACHED IN THE MEDIUM.
摘要:
L-Glutamic acid is produced by culturing glutamic acid producing strains of Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Microbacterium, and Micrococcus on media which provide catechol, benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, protocatechuic acid, phenol and other aromatic compounds as at least 70 percent (by weight) of the carbon sources available during fermentation.
摘要:
A new, peptide-forming type of alkaline protease which is characteristically different from any similar commercial product in substrate specificity, decomposition pattern, amino acid composition, elementary analysis and other physicochemical properties, and which has the greatest enzymatic activity between pH 11.0 and 11.7. The invention includes a method of preparing said enzyme by cultivating Bacillus subtilis var sakainensis (ATCC 21394), and by purifying the crude enzyme preparation obtained therefrom at a larger yield in comparison with other commercially available proteases, in crystal form, by a very simplified method.
摘要:
L-Glutamic acid is produced by fermentation of culture media containing methanol as the main or sole carbon source by certain strains of microorganisms of the genera Methanomonas, Protaminobacter, and Microcyclus. The glutamic acid yield is improved by the presence of thiamine in the medium, and thiamine is required for growth of some of the microorganisms.
