  • Patent number: 8669078
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are ammonia-specific 5?-XMP aminase mutants and a method for preparing the same. A mutation is introduced into the active site of glutamine-dependent catalysis in 5?-XMP aminase. The resulting 5?-XMP aminase mutant is devoid of the glutamine-dependent activity and specifically reacts with external ammonia in converting 5?-XMP into 5?-GMP. Thus, the ammonia-specific 5?-XMP aminase mutant is stabler within cells compared to the wild type, and can be useful in the industrial conversion of 5?-XMP into 5?-GMP.

  • Patent number: 7456010
    Abstract: The invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 producing 5?-xanthylic acid. More specifically, the invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 which is a mutant strain of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 having a resistance to osmotic pressure. In order to obtain mutant strain having enhanced respiratory activity, the present invention adopted Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 as parent strain and treated it with UV radiation and mutation derivatives such as N-methyl-N?-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) according to ordinary procedure. Therefore, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 of the present invention makes it possible to overcome growth-standing phase rapidly on early culture and for same period of fermentation, can accumulate 5?-xanthylic acid in culture medium at a high yield and concentration rate.
