摘要:
The liquid waste after pulp bleaching can be treated by using a microorganism having lignin degradation activity and having been pre-cultured in a culture medium supplemented with the liquid waste after pulp bleaching and/or lignin related substances, the cultured products thereof and/or the treated products thereof.The scarcely degradable colored ingredients and/or chlorinated phenols contained in the liquid waste after pulp bleaching can be decomposed and removed, whereby the efficient treatment of the liquid waste after pulp bleaching can be achieved.
摘要:
According to this invention, pulps can be produced in high yields while saving energy by previously fiberizing wood chips used as the original material and then treating with a microorganism having a high lignin-degrading activity and a low fiber-degrading activity upon the wood.In addition, new lignin-degrading enzymes produced by a microorganism used in this invention were identified.

摘要:
A vessel capable of passing a liquid therethrough is packed with a support having at least hydrophilicity and microorganism cells are inoculated to the support, retained and cultivated therein. A reaction substrate is fed to the vessel and brought into contact with the microorganism, whereby the microorganism is allowed to propagate within the support and act upon the reaction substrate to induce decomposition or synthetic reactions thereof.

A biodegradable plastic added at an amount of a hydrophilic property imparting-substance providing wettability such that the contact angle of plastic surface to water is 70.degree. or less whereby the decomposability thereof with Basidiomycetes, the cultured products thereof and/or the processed products thereof is improved. A method for decomposing plastic under the conditions with limitation to nitrogen and/or carbon in decomposing such biodegradable plastic. In accordance with the present invention, the plastic which has conventionally been decomposed with difficulty can be decomposed efficiently.

This invention provides a new fermentation method and apparatus for the same for producing a substance by a microbial action from a gaseous substrate, wherein the cells of a microorganism fixed to a carrier are held in a reactor, an aqueous solution is fed to said reactor so as to moisten at least part of the surface of said microbial cells, and said gaseous substrate is forced to pass through the interstices of said microbial cells, thereby causing direct reaction between the microorganism and the gaseous substrate and effecting efficient biosynthesis of methane, formic acid and other substances.
摘要:
There are disclosed polyprenyl sulfone derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein n represents an integer of 1-4, R.sub.1 represents an aryl group d R.sub.2 represents a hydroxymethyl or carboxyl group. The polyprenyl sulfone derivatives are prepared by cultivating a microorganism of the genus Nocardia capable of oxidizing a compound of the general formula: ##STR2## wherein n and R.sub.1 have the same meanings as defined above, in a culture medium containing a compound of the above general formula (II), and then collecting the oxidation product from the culture mixture. The polyprenyl sulfone derivatives are useful as intermediates for preparing various useful polyprenyl compounds.
摘要:
Polyprenyl carboxylic acid derivatives having the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which n is an integer of from 2 to 4, R.sub.1 represents the hydrogen atom or a protecting group for the carboxylic acid group, and R.sub.2 represents a hydroxymethyl, formyl or carboxyl group, are disclosed. A process for the preparation of the polyprenyl carboxylic acid derivative involving microbiological oxidation using a strain belonging to the genus Nocardia is disclosed. The compounds have anti-ulcer activity and hypotensive activity. The compounds also are useful as intermediates for preparing polyprenyl carboxylic acids of the formula ##STR2## and esters thereof, wherein l is an integer of from 4 to 11. The polyprenyl carboxylic acids and esters thereof have hypotensive activity and anti-ulcer activity.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for the preparation of a compound having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein n is an integer of from 2 to 4, R.sub.1 is an ester-forming moiety effective as a protecting group for a carboxyl group, and R.sub.2 is hydroxymethyl, formyl or carboxyl. The compounds (I) are useful as intermediates for the preparation of polyprenyl compounds having hypotensive and anti-ulcer activity. The process of the invention includes cultivating a microorganism selected from a strain of the genus Nocardia called BPM 1613, FERM-P No. 1609, Corynebacterium equi IAM 1038, Candida lipolytica IFO 0746, and Mycobacterium smegmatis IFO 3083, in a nutritive culture medium, in the presence of a compound having the general formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.3 is an ester-forming moiety effective as a protecting group for a carboxyl group, whereby the microorganism utilizes the compound (II) as a carbon source and oxidizes the compound (II), thereby converting the compound (II) into the compound (I).
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a two-functional-group-containing terpenoid having the general formula: ##STR1## in which n is an integer of from 1 to 5, R represents a hydroxymethyl, formyl or carboxyl group, and A represents the hydrogen atom, or a 2-tetrahydropyranyl, benzyl, methoxymethol or methoxyethoxymethyl group comprising the oxidation with a microorganism belonging to the genus Nocardia. Some of the terpenoids are of value as anti-ulcer agents, while others are useful as intermediates.
