  • Plasmid
    Patent number: 4778762
    Abstract: A substantially pure plasmid which is characterized by a molecular weight of 3.0.+-.0.1 megadalton and the restriction endonuclease-cleavage map shown in the Figure. This plasmid is capable of propagating in Corynebacteria and due to its size is useful as a vector for the cloning of exogenous genes.

  • Method for producing L-lysine by fermentation
    Patent number: 4560654
    Abstract: An L-lysine producing microorganism which is constructed by incorporation into a recipient strain of the genus Brevibacterium or Corynebacterium of a hybrid plasmid having inserted therein a DNA fragment which is derived from a donor strain of the genus Brevibacterium or Corynebacterium and which controls resistance to S-(2-aminoethyl)-cysteine and productivity of L-lysine, is useful for the production of high levels of L-lysine by fermentation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 1981
    Date of Patent: December 24, 1985
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company Incorporated
    Inventors: Kiyoshi Miwa, Mahito Terabe, Masaaki Ishida, Hiroshi Matsui, Haruo Momose
  • Method for producing L-arginine by fermentation
    Patent number: 4430430
    Abstract: An L-arginine producing microorganism which is constructed by transforming into a recipient strain of the genus Escherichia of a vector having inserted therein an arg A gene derived from a chromosomal DNA of the genus Escherichia, is useful for the production of high levels of L-arginine by fermentation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 1981
    Date of Patent: February 7, 1984
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
    Inventors: Haruo Momose, Masaaki Ishida, Mahito Terabe
  • Method for producing L-glutamic acid by fermentation
    Patent number: 4427773
    Abstract: An L-glutamic acid producing microorganism which is constructed by incorporation into a recipient strain of the genus Brevibacterium or Corynebacterium of a hybrid plasmid having inserted therein a DNA fragment with genetic information related to L-glutamic acid production which is derived from a donor strain of the genus Brevibacterium or Corynebacterium, is useful for the production of high levels of L-glutamic acid by fermentation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 1981
    Date of Patent: January 24, 1984
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company Incorporated
    Inventors: Takayasu Tsuchida, Kiyoshi Miwa, Shigeru Nakamori, Haruo Momose
  • Method for stabilizing the characteristics of microorganism containing a plasmid
    Patent number: 4371615
    Abstract: A streptomycin dependent mutant of a microorganism of the genus Escherichia which contains a plasmid containing genetic information controlling streptomycin independence maintains its properties when cultured in a medium devoid of streptomycin. The plasmid may also contain genetic information controlling the production of a chemical compound by the microorganism. Fermentation cultures of such microorganisms in media devoid of streptomycin do not lose their industrially desirable ability to synthesize useful compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 1980
    Date of Patent: February 1, 1983
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company Incorporated
    Inventors: Kiyoshi Miwa, Haruo Momose
  • Method for producing L-threonine by fermentation
    Patent number: 4347318
    Abstract: L-threonine is produced by incorporating into a recipient microorganism of the genus Escherichia which does not require L-threonine for growth, a plasmid, in which a deoxyribonucleic acid fragment which possesses genetic information relating to L-threonine synthesis obtained from a mutant resistant to .alpha.-amino-.beta.-hydroxy valeric acid of the genus Escherichia, has been inserted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 1980
    Date of Patent: August 31, 1982
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company, Incorporated
    Inventors: Kiyoshi Miwa, Takayasu Tsuchida, Osamu Kurahashi, Shigeru Nakamori, Konosuke Sano, Haruo Momose
  • Process for producing L-leucine
    Patent number: 3970519
    Abstract: Microorganisms of the genus Brevibacterium or Corynebacterium which resist feedback inhibition by leucine or its analogs and require at least one of isoleucine, threonine or methionine as a growth nutriment, produce L-leucine under aerobic culture conditions.
