  • Publication number: 20080261282
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transformed Agrobacterium tumefaciens BNQ-pGPRX11 (Accession No. KCCM-10554) harboring a recombinant expression vector (pGPRX11). Further, the present invention also provides a fermentation method for maximum production of coenzyme Q10 using a transformed Agrobacterium tumefaciens deposited to Korean Culture Center of Microorganism with accession number KCCM-10554 comprising the steps of: i) constructing the recombinant expression vector pGPRX11 containing decaprenyl diphosphate synthase gene and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase gene (SEQ ID NO: 1); ii) preparing a transformed Agrobacterium tumefaciens (KCCM-10554) by harboring said recombinant expression vector pGPRX11 to the host of Agrobacterium tumefaciens BNQ 0605 (KCCM-10413); iii) growing the transformed cells on growth medium comprising 50 g/L of sucrose, 15 g/L of yeast extract, 15 g/L of peptone and 7.

  • Patent number: 7432080
    Abstract: The present invention provides a newly isolated mutant culture of Actinoplanes teichomyceticus BNG 2315. This culture is capable of producing teicoplanin more than 60 times productivity than those reported before (e.g., Actinoplanes teichomyceticus nov. sp. ATCC 31121). The present invention also provides a fermentation process for the production of teicoplanin in an aerobic condition using the mutant strain Actinoplanes teichomyceticus BNG 2315 in a culture-medium comprising carbon sources, nitrogen sources and mineral salts.

  • Publication number: 20050181490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transformed Agrabacterium tumefaciens BNQ-pGPRX11 (Accession No. KCCM-10554) harboring a recombinant expression vector (pGPRX11). Further, the present invention also provides a fermentation method for maximum production of coenzyme Q10 using a transformed Agrabacterium tumefaciens deposited to Korean Culture Center of Microorganism with accession number KCCM-10554 comprising the steps of: i) fermenting transformed cells on production medium comprising 30˜50 g/L of corn steep powder, 0.3˜0.7 g/L of KH2PO4, 0.3˜0.7 g/L of K2HPO4, 12˜18 g/L of ammonium sulfate, 1.5˜2.5 g/L of lactic acid, 0.2˜0.3 g/L of magnesium sulfate on condition that aeration rate of the medium is 0.8˜1.2 volume of air per volume of medium per minute, temperature 30˜34° C. and pH is 6.0˜8.0; ii) removing the transformed cells and other residue from the fermentation medium; and iii) separating and recovering coenzyme Q10 from the fermentation medium of step (ii).
