Abstract: A recording device includes: a medium accommodation portion configured to accommodate a plurality of media; a feeding portion configured to send out the media from the medium accommodation portion; a recording section configured to perform recording on the media sent out from the medium accommodation portion; an ultraviolet-light emitting portion provided at a position opposed to the medium accommodation portion and configured to emit ultraviolet light toward the media accommodated in the medium accommodation portion; and a control unit configured to control the ultraviolet-light emitting portion to emit ultraviolet light to the media by utilizing a period before the feeding portion starts to feed the media.

Abstract: The present invention provides a methodology for improving a yield of 2R,4R-Monatin. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing 2S,4R-Monatin or a salt thereof, comprising contacting 4R-IHOG with an L-amino acid aminotransferase in the presence of an L-amino acid to form the 2S,4R-Monatin; a method for producing 2R,4R-Monatin or a salt thereof, comprising isomerizing the 2S,4R-Monatin to form the 2R,4R-Monatin; and the like. These production methods may further comprise condensing indole-3-pyruvate and pyruvate to form the 4R-IHOG, and deaminating a tryptophan to form the indole-3-pyruvate.
