  • Process for integration of a chosen gene on the chromosome of a bacterium obtained by the said process
    Patent number: 6197590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for integration of a chosen gene or of a specific DNA sequence in a DNA sequence such as the chromosome or episome of a bacterium, wherein: a) the said chosen gene or the chosen DNA sequence is cloned inside a defective transposon outside the essential parts of the transposon, b) the said transposon is integrated in the DNA sequence such as the chromosome or the episome of the said bacterium, and also the bacterium strains obtained by implementation of this process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 1997
    Date of Patent: March 6, 2001
    Assignee: Eurolysine
    Inventors: Francois Richaud, Bruno Jarry, Koïchi Takinami, Osamu Kurahashi, Anne Beyou
  • Process for integration of a chosen gene on the chromosome of a bacterium using Mu transposons
    Patent number: 5595889
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for integration of a chosen gene or of a specific DNA molecule into the chromosome or episome of a bacterium by cloning the gene or DNA molecule into a defective transposon which is then integrated into the chromosomal or episomal DNA of the bacteria. The defective transposon is incapable of transposition autonomously but can be induced to transpose when properly complemented. The complementation to induce transposition can be limited so that the defective transposon produces a specific number of copies and thereafter is stable. The number of copies of the defective transposon produced during the period of transposition can be estimated by the level of expression of a marker gene contained within the defective transposon.

  • Method for producing L-phenylalanine by fermentation
    Patent number: 4403033
    Abstract: When sensitivity to decoyinine is given by mutation to L-phenylalanine-producing mutants of the genus Brevibacterium and Corynebacterium, the productivity of L-phenylalanine of the new mutants is improved.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 1980
    Date of Patent: September 6, 1983
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company Incorporated
    Inventors: Eiji Goto, Masaru Ishihara, Shoji Sakurai, Hitoshi Enei, Koichi Takinami
  • Method for the production of L-lysine
    Patent number: 4275157
    Abstract: L-lysine is produced by culturing mutants of Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium which are sensitive to fluoropyruvic acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 1979
    Date of Patent: June 23, 1981
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company, Incorporated
    Inventors: Osamu Tosaka, Eiji Ono, Masaru Ishihara, Hajimu Morioka, Koichi Takinami
  • Method of producing improved glyceride by lipase
    Patent number: 4275011
    Abstract: A glyceride product is prepared by interesterifying a glyceride mixture in the presence of a lipase as a catalyst with a dihydric alcohol, a trihydric alcohol, or mixture thereof, said glyceride mixture being composed of at least two different glycerides or at least one glyceride and at least one fatty acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 1979
    Date of Patent: June 23, 1981
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Company, Incorporated
    Inventors: Takashi Tanaka, Eiji Ono, Koichi Takinami
  • Method for producing L-glutamic acid by fermentation
    Patent number: 3971701
    Abstract: Mutants of glutamic acid producing strains of Brevibacterium which are more sensitive to N-palmitoylglutamic acid than the parent strains require less surfactant to suppress excessive biotin activity in a fermentation medium for permitting glutamic acid production and correspondingly less antifoaming agent without loss of glutamic acid yield.
