摘要:
An aqueous solution containing fumaric acid is reacted in the presence of an aerobically cultured product of a microorganism belonging to the Brevibacterium genus and having resistance to .alpha.-aminobutyric acid, whereby L-malic acid is produced.
摘要:
A method for producing L-threonine, which comprises subjecting at least L- or DL-aspartic acid or a salt thereof to enzymatic reaction according to the reaction system not accompanied with growth of microorganism cells in an aqueous solution in the presence of a microorganism and collecting L-threonine formed, wherein the microorganism is a biotin-requiring microorganism for the growth belonging to coryneform bacterium; a plasmid comprising a DNA fragment containing at least a gene encoding biosynthesis of threonine which can be expressed within a biotin-requiring microorganism cell for the growth belonging to coryneform bacterium and a DNA fragment containing a gene encoding autonomous replication within coryneform bacterium cell; and a biotin-requiring microorganism for the growth belonging to coryneform bacterium which has been transformed with the plasmid described above, both of which are employed in the present method.According to the present invention, L-threonine can be produced with good yield, and further since production management becomes extremely easy without requiring cumbersome operation such as sterilization of the medium, etc. as in the fermentation method, L-threonine can be produced inexpensively in industry.
摘要:
A method for producting L-threonine is described, comprising subjecting L- or DL-homoserine to enzymatic reaction in an aqueous medium in the presence of cells of biotin-requiring microorganisms belonging to the genus Brevibacterium and harvesting L-threonine from the reaction mixture.
