Acyl-CoA synthetase, having a high activity to C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 long chain fatty acids, is obtained by culturing strains belonging to various genera. As is known, acyl-CoA synthetase, having a strong activity to C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 long chain fatty acids, is generally obtained from liver of rat; however, it has now been discovered that acyl-CoA synthetase can be obtained from microorganisms and this enzyme is called acyl-CoA synthetase LCF-18. By use of acyl-CoA synthetase LCF-18 of the present invention which has a high activity to C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 long chain fatty acids, serum non-esterified fatty acid of human beings can be accurately determined, and it is very useful for diagnosis of diabetes and so forth.
摘要:
Process for producing S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, which comprises reacting adenosine with homocysteine by contacting them in an aqueous medium in the presence of cells or treated cells of a microorganism of a specified genus having the ability to synthesize S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine from adenosine and homocysteine, and collecting the S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine synthesized.

In a process which comprises cultivating a micro-organism having the ability to produce a biotin-vitamer in a culture medium in the presence of a biotin-vitamer precursor thereby to produce the biotin-vitamer and accumulate it in the culture medium, the improvement wherein the biotin-vitamer precursor is added to the culture medium after the microbial cells have been grown.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for the determination of free fatty acids comprising a reaction system 1 in which acyl coenzyme A synthetase is allowed to act on the free fatty acids in the presence of adenosine triphosphate and coenzyme A to yield acyl coenzyme A and a reaction system 2 in which acyl coenzyme A oxidase is allowed to act on the acyl coenzyme A to form hydrogen peroxide, followed by the determination thereof, said process being characterized in that myokinase is added in the reaction system 1 to make it go rapidly to completion.
摘要:
In a process for hydrating a nitrile having 2 to 4 carbon atoms by a microbiological treatment to convert the nitrile into the corresponding amide, it is possible to biologically prepare the corresponding amide effectively by utilizing a microorganism of the genus Pseudomonas which is capable of hydrating the nitrile to convert the same into the corresponding amide. In particular, it is possible to obtain acrylamides which are highly useful polymers by the very simple and energy-saving process in accordance with the present invention.
摘要:
A yeast culture containing at least 10% by weight, based on the dry cell, of S-adenosyl methionine; and a process for producing S-adenosyl methionine, which comprises cultivating a yeast having the ability to produce S-adenosyl methionine in a liquid culture medium containing methionine to accumulate at least 10% by weight, based on the dry yeast cells, of S-adenosyl methionine in the yeast cells, separating the yeast cells from the culture medium, and thereafter obtaining S-adenosyl methionine in a stable form from the yeast cells.
摘要:
Acyl-CoA synthetase, having a high activity to C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 long chain fatty acids, is obtained by cultivating Pseudomonas aeruginosa IFO 3919. Pseudomonas aeruginosa IFO 3919 can produce acyl-CoA synthetase LCF-18 in large quantities, and the acyl-CoA synthetase LCF-18 produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa IFO 3919 is very stable in storage.
摘要:
