摘要:
A mutant fungus strain which produces a protease with low thermostability and low productivity was made from protease producing fungi and the gene coding for mutant enzyme is isolated from the mutant strain. A promoter which can function in yeast is ligated to the gene and inserted into a plasmid replicable in yeast, and the resulting plasmid is introduced into yeast. The yeast is cultured, thereby producing the mutant enzyme. Furthermore, a gene expressing an enzyme with a far lower thermostability is prepared by site-directed mutagenesis, which is introduced in yeast, thereby producing an enzyme with more distinctively reduced thermostability.
摘要:
A method for the production of a cellulosic product, which comprises: culturing a cellulose-producing microorganism transformed with a gene for an enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism in a medium containing sucrose, allowing the cellulosic product to be produced and accumulated in the medium, and collecting the cellulosic product. By the present method, the cellulosic product can be produced efficiently and economically.

Acetobacter sp. strain BPR 2001, an endogeneous plasmid named pAH4 derived from said strain as well as shuttle vectors constructed from said plasmid and an E. coli-derived plasmid are disclosed.These shuttle vectors can be advantageously used for gene recombination of cellulose-producing acetic acid bacteria.
摘要:
A process for the production of sphingomyelinase comprising cultivating a sphingomyelinase-producing microorganism, belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, in a culture medium and recovering sphingomyelinase from the culture medium.
摘要:
The present invention has disclosed the amino acid sequence and nucleotide sequence of the .alpha.- and .beta.-subunits of two types of nitrile hydratase derived from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J-1. The DNA fragment encoding nitrile hydratase is inserted into an expression vector and the recombinant vector is used for transformation. The transformant contains multiple copies of the gene and can produce much higher level of nitrile hydratase compared with conventionally used microorganisms.

The feature of the present invention is a process for preparing compounds represented by general formula (Ia) described below: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.7 are as defined in formula (I) and R.sub.10 represents a lower alkyl group, or acid salts thereof, which process is characterized by using the guanidylfungins (II) as raw materials, reacting these guanidylfungins with alcohols (III) in the presence of an acid catalyst, and then hydrolyzing the malonic acid monoester (IV).
摘要:
A thermally stable tryptophanase having (1) an optimum temperature for activity at a pH of 8.0 of about 70.degree. C., and (2) such thermal stability that it is not thermally deactivated when maintained at temperatures up to about 65.degree. C. and a pH of 8.0 for 40 minutes. The thermally stable tryptophanase can be produced by cultivating in a tryptophan-containing culture medium a thermally stable tryptophanase-producing bacterium which does not grow alone in said medium but grows there in the presence of Bacillus sp. strain S, and obtaining the resulting thermally stable tryptophanase from the culture broth. The thermally stable tryptophanase-producing microorganism for use in the above process is a novel organism.
摘要:
A method for inducing the differentiation of tumor cells in human or animal, which comprises administering an effective amount of trichostatin A and/or trichostatin C to the human or animal.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a gene derived from Pseudomonas chlororaphis B23 strain which encodes a polypeptide having nitrile hydratase activity being capable of hydrating nitriles to amides. The invention also relates to a recombinant DNA containing the gene, and a transformant transformed with the recombinant DNA. The present invention further relates to a method of producing nitrile hydratase using the transformant and of amides using nitrile hydratase.
