  • Linalool composition and method of producing therefor
    Patent number: 10941420
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition containing linalool, wherein the composition contains a high amount of either enantiomer R-linalool or S-linalool, and has a high content rate of linalool. The present invention also provides a production method for producing the composition. The present invention further provides a composition containing volatile components including linalool, in which a content of linalool in a total content of the volatile components in the composition is 60% or more, and the linalool is present as R-linalool or S-linalool in an amount of 50% or more of the enantiomer, and a production method therefor.

  • Method for producing L-amino acids
    Patent number: 10563234
    Abstract: A method for producing an L-amino acid is provided. An L-amino acid is produced by culturing a bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and having an L-amino acid-producing ability, wherein the bacterium has been modified so that the activity of aconitase is increased, or the activities of aconitase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase are increased, in a medium, and collecting the L-amino acid from the medium or cells of the bacterium.
