Abstract: Disclosed herein are a process for producing mixed crystals of disodium 5?-guanylate and disodium 5?-inosinate which comprises precipitating mixed crystals of disodium 5?-guanylate and disodium 5?-inosinate (I+G mixed crystals) by adding an aqueous mixed solution of disodium 5?-guanylate and disodium 5?-inosinate and a hydrophilic organic solvent at the same time into a crystallization vessel in such manner that the ratio of the hydrophilic organic solvent to the liquid phase in the crystallization vessel is maintained in a range of 30 to 70 vol %, as well as such process for producing I+G mixed crystals wherein said producing of I+G mixed crystals is carried out by seeding crystallization wherein crystals of 5?-IMP2Na or/and I+G mixed crystals are used as seed crystals.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing L-glutamic acid by fermentation, by culturing in a liquid medium a microorganism that can metabolize a carbon source at a specific pH, and wherein said medium contains a carbon source and L-glutamic acid at a saturation concentration, and wherein said microorganism is able to cause accumulation of an amount of L-glutamic acid in a liquid medium having said pH, wherein said amount exceeds the amount of L-glutamic acid at said saturation concentration when the pH of the medium is controlled so that L-glutamic acid is precipitated, making L-lysine exist in the medium when L-glutaminc acid concentration is lower than the concentration at which natural crystallization of L-glutamic acid occurs, and precipitating the ?-form crystals of L-glutamic acid.
