Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present invention provide a microbial strain with improved productivity of γ-glutamylcysteine, bis-γ-glutamylcystine, γ-glutamylcystine, reduced glutathione, and/or oxidized glutathione. Such microbial strain has disruption of [1] a gene encoding γ-glutamyltransferase and [2] a gene encoding phosphoglycerate mutase and enhanced expression of [3] a gene encoding glutamate-cysteine ligase and/or a gene encoding glutathione synthetase or [4] a gene encoding bifunctional glutathione synthetase. This invention also discloses a method for producing the substances mentioned above via culture of the microbial strain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an optically active 3-aminopiperidine or salt thereof. In the method, a racemic nipecotamide is stereoselectively hydrolyzed to obtain an optically active nipecotamide and an optically active nipecotic acid in the presence of an enzyme source derived from an organism, and then the optically active nipecotamide is derived into an optically active aminopiperidine or salt thereof by aroylation, Hofmann rearrangement, deprotection of the amino group and further deprotection; or the optically active nipecotamide is derived into an optically active aminopiperidine or salt thereof by selective protection with BOC, Hofmann rearrangement and further deprotection. It is possible by the present invention to produce an optically active 3-aminopiperidine or salt thereof useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate from an inexpensive and easily available starting material by easy method applicable to industrial manufacturing.

Abstract: This invention is intended to improve glutathione productivity by fermentation using microorganisms. This invention relates to a microbial strain capable of overexpression of γ-glutamylcysteine, bis-γ-glutamylcystine, γ-glutamylcystine, reduced glutathione, and/or oxidized glutathione in which the expression level of a gene encoding serine-O-acetyltransferase (EC:2.3.1.30) is enhanced and a method involving the use of such microbial strain.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method for producing peptides such as glutathione and a microorganism that can be used for such method. One or more embodiments of the first aspect of the present disclosure concern a method for producing peptides such as glutathione comprising culturing a prokaryotic microbial strain in which the expression levels of one or more genes selected from among the gshA gene, the gshB gene, and the gshF gene are enhanced, compared with the expression levels thereof in the wild-type strain thereof in a medium in which the total concentration of cysteine and cystine is 0.5 g/l or lower. The second aspect of the present disclosure concerns a microorganism comprising disruptions of the γ-glutamyltransferase gene and the glutathione reductase gene and exhibiting the enhanced expression levels of the gshA gene and the gshB or gshF gene.

Abstract: It is an object solved by the present invention to provide an Agrobacterium with increased gene targeting efficiency. The present invention provides an Agrobacterium having a T-DNA nuclear translocation ability equivalent to that of a wild-type Agrobacterium and also having a T-DNA chromosomal insertion ability that is lost or reduced in comparison to a wild-type Agrobacterium.
