摘要:
&agr;-Hydroxy-&ggr;-carboxymuconic acid-&egr;-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, a gene encoding the enzyme, a recombinant vector containing the gene and a transformant carrying the gene, and processes for producing the enzyme and 2-pyrone-dicarboxylic acid by using the transformant. Use of the transformant can produce &agr;-hydroxy-&ggr;-carboxymuconic acid-&egr;-semialdehyde dehydrogenase in a large amount, thereby permitting industrial production of 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylic acid.

摘要:
A microorganism that produces 5-aminolevulinic acid, wherein the microorganism has a 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase variant having a reduced inhibitor constant for a 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase inhibitor. A microorganism that produces 5-aminolevulinic acid, wherein the microorganism is a photosynthetic bacterium that produces 5-aminolevulinic acid without light irradiation. A process for producing 5-aminolevulinic acid comprising the step of culturing a microorganism that produces 5-aminolevulinic acid in a culture medium under at least one condition selected from the group consisting of (a) less than 1 ppm of dissolved oxygen concentration in the culture medium, (b) from -180 to 50 mV of oxidation-reduction potential in the culture medium, and (c from 5.times.10.sup.-9 to (KrM-2.times.10.sup.-8) (mol of O.sub.2 /ml.multidot.min.cndot.cell) of cellular respiration rate, wherein KrM represents the maximum cellular respiration rate when oxygen is supplied in an excess quantity.

摘要:
A method for improving pigmentation of the rind of anthocyanin-containing apples comprising treating fruit-bearing apple trees or apples before or after harvesting with an effective amount of an agent which comprises 5-aminolevulinic acid, a salt thereof or a mixture thereof as an active component.
摘要:
A method for treating plants with a plant growth promoter comprising 5-aminolevulinic acid or a salt thereof as an active ingredient. This treatment method is effective in enhancing the photosynthetic activity of a plant, enhancing its ability to absorb CO.sub.2, suppressing its respiration, increasing its chlorophyll content and promoting its growth. As a result, the treatment greatly contributes to the promotion of rooting, the reduction of lodging, an increase in yield, an improvement in cold resistance, maintenance of freshness, an improvement and maintenance of green color, the growth of good seedlings, the promotion of organs, an increase in tillers, a shortening of the time required for growth, a relief of chemical damage and an increase in the rooting ratio in, for example, cutting.
