  • Gene involved in synthesis of cyclic peptide compound, method for producing cyclic peptide compound using the same, and transformant comprising the same
    Patent number: 11946086
    Abstract: This invention is intended to identify a gene cluster involved in biosynthesis of a cyclic peptide compound produced by a filamentous fungus of the Curvularia species and to establish a system for synthesizing such cyclic peptide compound. The gene is composed of a first module to a tenth module and encodes a protein having activity of synthesizing a nonribosomal peptide constituting a basic peptide backbone of a cyclic peptide compound produced by a filamentous fungus of the Curvularia species.

  • Transporting method, transporting apparatus, exposure method, and exposure apparatus
    Patent number: 8541163
    Abstract: A ladder type stage apparatus that transports a film-shaped substrate includes a plurality of rods whose longitudinal directions are aligned in a direction that is orthogonal to the moving direction of the film-shaped substrate in order to support the film-shaped substrate; chains that join the rods along a closed-loop trajectory; and a drive motor that moves the rods along this loop-shaped trajectory via the chains.
