  • Method for manufacturing protein
    Patent number: 11746342
    Abstract: A method for producing a protein is provided. An objective protein is produced by culturing Talaromyces cellulolyticus having an objective protein-producing ability, which has been modified so that the activity of a YscB protein is reduced, in a culture medium.

  • Method for producing a protein and disaccharide using a
    Patent number: 11384379
    Abstract: A method for producing an objective protein and a method for producing a disaccharide are provided. An objective protein is produced by culturing Talaromyces cellulolyticus in a culture medium containing an expression inducer such as gentiobiose. A disaccharide is produced from a saccharide raw material by enzymatic conversion using a disaccharide synthesizing enzyme.

  • Method for producing 5?-guanylic acid
    Patent number: 9200304
    Abstract: 5?-guanylic acid (GMP) is produced efficiently by allowing a microorganism to react with xanthylic acid (XMP), wherein said microorganism is able to convert xanthylic acid into 5?-guanylic acid and has been modified so that the nagD gene does not function normally and 5?-guanylic acid synthetase activity is enhanced.

    Date of Patent: December 1, 2015
    Assignee: AJINOMOTO CO., INC.
    Inventors: Hiroaki Fukada, Takayuki Asahara, Kenichi Hashiguchi
  • Process for production of 5?-guanylic acid
    Patent number: 8309329
    Abstract: By reacting inosinic acid (IMP) with a bacterium which has been modified so that IMP dehydrogenase activity and 5?-guanylic acid (GMP) synthetase activity are enhanced, GMP is produced.
