Abstract: A permanent magnet-type rotary electric machine includes a stator, a first rotor, and a second rotor. The stator includes a stator core, a plurality of stator teeth, a plurality of stator slots, a plurality of stator magnets, and a stator coil. The first rotor is disposed inside the stator core relative to the plurality of stator magnets. The second rotor is disposed inside the stator core relative to a plurality of first pole pieces. The second rotor includes a plurality of second pole pieces. A proportion of the number of the plurality of stator slots to the number of poles of the plurality of second pole pieces of the second rotor is greater than 1.25 and less than 1.5, or greater than 1.5 and less than 3.0.

Abstract: A process for preparing optically active indoline-2-carboxylic acid by an optical resolution, which comprises subjecting a racemic ester of (R,S)-indoline-2-carboxylic acid having the general formula [(R,S)-I] to the action of an enzyme or a microorganism having a stereo-selective esterase activity, which is capable of asymmetrically hydrolyzing the racemic ester [(R,S)-I] to give optically active indoline-2-carboxylic acid having the formula [II*] so as to produce the hydrolysis product, i.e. optically active indoline-2-carboxylic acid [II*] and an unreacted optically active ester of indoline-2-carboxylic acid having the general formula [I*], isolating each optically active form, and further, if necessary, hydrolyzing the obtained optically active ester [I*] to give an optical antipode of the acid [II*].According to the process of the present invention, optically active indoline-2-carboxylic acid with a high optical purity can be prepared in a simple process with a good yield.

Abstract: A process for producing L-lysine by fermentation, comprising the steps of aerobically cultivating a strain having the ability to produce L-lysine and derived from Nocardia alkanoglutinousa No. 223, in a culture medium containing an assimilable carbon source and an assimilable nitrogen source, to accumulate L-lysine in the culture medium and then recovering L-lysine.
