摘要:
Disclosed is a method for transformation of microorganisms belonging to the genera Corynebacterium and Brevibacterium whereby a foreign DNA may be introduced into a host cell and autonomously replicated.
摘要:
Disclosed are recombinant plasmid vectors constructed of a plasmid autonomously replicable in cells of microorganisms belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and a DNA fragment containing a gene expressible by said microorganisms. The recombinant vector plasmids are autonomously replicable in glutamic acid--producing microorganisms and are useful to clone desired DNA fragments in such microorganisms.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel plasmids which can replicate autonomously in microorganisms belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and which carry a gene for resistance to streptomycin and/or spectinomycin. The plasmids are useful as a cloning vector.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for expressing a gene and producing a metabolic product formed by the gene by culturing a transformant microorganism carrying a recombinant DNA constructed of a DNA fragment having at least one gene to be expressed and a vector DNA, at least one of which is foreign to the host microorganism.
摘要:
A novel lysozyme-sensitive microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and having a sensitivity to lysozyme at a concentration of less than 25 .mu.g/ml is provided from selected mutants. This novel microorganism is especially suitable for use in recombinant DNA technology.
摘要:
According to the present invention, a process for producing a practical cholesterol-reduced substance by converting cholesterol contained in foods and feeds to coprostanol having very low intestinal tract absorbability by utilizing enzymatic action is provided. Cholesterol in a cholesterol-containing substance such as meat, egg, milk, seafood and cooked processed foods containing the same, or feeds for animals, poultry and pisciculture, and the like, can be treated with three kinds of enzymes which are a cholesterol dehydrogenase having an optimum pH in a neutral pH range and 4-cholesten-3-one dehydrogenase and coprostan-3-one dehydrogenase each having an optimum pH in a weak acidic range, or microbial cells containing the enzymes, for converting the cholesterol to coprostanol to reduce the amount of the cholesterol.
摘要:
A process for producing alanine which comprises culturing in a medium a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia, Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium which has an L-alanine dehydrogenase activity and is capable of producing alanine, allowing the microorganism to produce and accumulate alanine in the culture medium, and recovering alanine from the culture medium.
摘要:
The present invention provides a gene expression regulatory DNA and a process for preparing a protein using the same.A DNA derived from the isocitrate lyase (ICL) gene of a coryneform bacterium regulates expression of a structural gene encoding a protein when incorporated into a vector DNA together with said structural gene and introduced into a host coryneform bacterium, and a useful protein can be efficiently produced using the DNA.
