摘要:
Disclosed is a means for improving the poor conversion efficiency in a conventional bioconversion system using a transformant which is given by introducing a gene originated from xerogenic organisms. A transformant is prepared by using a host which is defective in a gene encoding a multidrug efflux protein and introducing a gene originated from xerogenic organisms. Use of the transformant results in much effective microbial conversion of a hydrophobic or amphipathic substrate compound into a desired compound. In case, an Escherichia coli is used as the host, the gene encoding a multidrug efflux protein to be defective may be tolC, acrA, acrB and the like.

摘要:
Disclosed is a means for improving the poor conversion efficiency in a bioconversion system using an Escherichia coli cell having a bacterium-originated cytochrome P-450 gene integrated therein. A recombinant Escherichia coli cell is produced by introducing aciB and aciC which encode a gene for the electron transport system originated from the Acinetobacter sp. OC4 strain into an Escherichia coli cell, and adding a polynucleotide encoding an N-terminal sequence composed of 48 amino acid residues of AciA and the like to the 5′-terminus of a bacterium-originated cytochrome P-450 gene, wherein AciA is an alkane-oxidative cytochrome P-450 originated from the Acinetobacter sp. OC4 strain. Use of the recombinant Escherichia coli cell results in much effective microbial conversion of a hydrophobic or amphipathic substrate compound into a desired compound.

摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to obtain highly active P450scc enzyme protein which is an important enzyme protein that catalyzes the first step of the biosynthesis of industrially useful steroid hormone. The present invention provides a sterol side chain cleavage enzyme protein having the following physicochemical properties: (1) action: the enzyme acts on sterol represented by formula (I) as defined in the specification and cleaves the carbon-carbon bond between positions 20 and 22 of a sterol side chain portion by its activity of cleaving the bonds, so as to generate a compound represented by formula (II) as defined in the specification; (2) substrate specificity: when microorganisms that produce the enzyme protein are allowed to react with an aqueous solution containing 100 μg/ml 4-cholesten-3-one or cholesterol at 28° C. for 5 hours, the conversion reaction rate from 4-cholesten-3-one to progesterone is 10% or more, and the conversion rate from cholesterol to pregnenolone is 10% or more;

摘要:
A motor includes a motor case, and a rotor and a stator, which are disposed in the case. The case has a tubular portion, a front cover mounted to an axial end of the portion, and a rear cover mounted to the other axial end of the portion. The rotor has a rotary shaft and the stator includes a plurality of teeth, which extend toward a central axis of the shaft and are circumferentially disposed at equal intervals. Between each circumferentially adjacent pair of the teeth, a slot extending toward the axis is formed. In each slot, a U-shaped segment is inserted in parallel with the axis. The distal ends of the segments projecting out from the slots are electrically interconnected, thereby forming an SC coil including the segments disposed circumferentially. The SC coil includes a receiving terminal, and the terminal includes leads extending in parallel to the axis.

This invention concerns a (meth)acrylic acid type polymer, wherein the value S representing the quantity of an sulfur element introduced which is defined by the formula, S=(quantity of S contained in polymer)/(total quantity of S)×100, is not less than 35. This (meth) acrylic acid type polymer is a water-soluble polymer of a low molecular weight which has only a small impurity content, entails no precipitation of an impurity during the preservation at a low temperature, and excels in dispersibility, chelating ability, and an anti-gelling property.
