摘要:
A method aiming at accurately and stably effecting medical examinations with the use of aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase by stabilizing the aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase in media. Valine and proline are added to the media (serum, buffer, etc.) as a component for stabilizing aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase contained therein.
摘要:
The gene encoding a 4-hydroxybutyryl-Co A transferase has been isolated from bacteria and integrated into the genome of bacteria also expressing a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase, to yield an improved production process for 4HB-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates using transgenic organisms, including both bacteria and plants. The new pathways provide means for producing 4HB containing PHAs from cheap carbon sources such as sugars and fatty acids, in high yields, which are stable. Useful strains are obtained by screening strains having integrated into their genomes a gene encoding a 4HB-CoA transferase and/or PHA synthase, for polymer production. Processes for polymer production use recombinant systems that can utilize cheap substrates. Systems are provided which can utilize amino acid degradation pathways, alpha -ketoglutarate, or succinate as substrate.

The present invention relates to materials and methods for production of natural and unnatural D-amino acids. In particular, the present invention relates to a fermentation method for the production of D-amino acids using recombinant host cells. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing a D-amino acid in a cell, comprising: (a) incorporating into the cell a D-aminotransferase gene and an L-aminodeaminase gene; (b) culturing the cell in a cell culture medium; and (c) isolating the D-amino acid from the cell culture medium. The invention also relates to a method for producing D-phenylalanine in a cell, comprising: (a) incorporating into the cell a D-aminotransferase gene, an L-aminodeaminase gene and means for increasing production of phenylpyruvate; (b) culturing the cell in a cell culture medium; and (c) isolating the D-phenylalanine from the cell culture medium. The invention also relates to the preparation of recombinant cells for use in the production of enantiomerically pure D-amino acids.
摘要:
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing pimeloyl-CoA using a polypeptide having the enzymatic activity of a hydroperoxide lyase to form non-3-enal and 9- oxononanoate from 9-hydroxyperoxyoctadec-10,12-dienoate. Non-3-enal and 9-oxononanoate can be enzymatically converted to pimeloyl-CoA or a salt thereof using one or more polypeptides having the activity of a dehydrogenase , a CoA ligase , an isomerase , a reductase , a thioesterase , a monooxygenase , a hydratase , and/or a thiolase . Pimeloyl-CoA can be enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine, or 1,7-heptanediol, or corresponding salts thereof. This document also describes recombinant microorganisms producing pimeloyl-CoA, as well as pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine, and 1,7-heptanediol, or corresponding salts thereof.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to the microbiological industry, and specifically to the production of L-serine or L-serine derivatives using genetically modified bacteria. The present invention provides genetically modified microorganisms, such as bacteria, wherein the expression of genes encoding for enzymes involved in the degradation of L-serine is attenuated, such as by inactivation, which makes them particularly suitable for the production of L-serine at higher yield. The present invention also provides means by which the microorganism, and more particularly a bacterium, can be made tolerant towards higher concentrations of serine. The present invention also provides methods for the production of L-serine or L-serine derivative using such genetically modified microorganisms.
