Patent number: 5286638Abstract: A peroxidase gene derived from Arthromyse ramosus and its cloning and expression in E. coli and yeast is disclosed. The peroxidase encoded by this gene is not-specific and does not contain isozymes and hence is suitable as a diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme innunoassays.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1991Date of Patent: February 15, 1994Assignee: Suntory Limited of 1-40, DojimahamaInventors: Yoshikazu Tanaka, Toshihiko Ashikari, Haruyo Hatanaka, Yuji Shibano, Teruo Amachi, Toru Nakayama, Motoo Sumida

Patent number: 5116751Abstract: A novel peroxidase was obtained from a fast growing microorganism of the genus Coprinus cinereus. The fungal peroxidase is comparable to the conventional peroxidase derived from horseradish or Japanese radish in that it can be used either as a clinical or diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme immunoassay.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1991Date of Patent: May 26, 1992Assignee: Suntory LimitedInventors: Yoshifumi Shinmen, Sumio Asami, Norihide Amano, Teruo Amachi, Hajime Yoshizumi

Patent number: 4791059Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparation of a novel lipase. The process is characterized by culturing a microorganism belonging to Staphylococcus capitis and capable of producing lipase in a culture medium to accumulate lipase in the cultured broth and recovering the lipase from the broth. Since the pH of this lipase is in a slightly alkali region and the lipase substantially completely converts glyceride to fatty acids and glycerin, it is useful for the economic preparation of fatty acids by the hydrolysis of fats or oils.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1986Date of Patent: December 13, 1988Assignee: Suntory LimitedInventors: Masahiro Nakao, Sumio Asami, Takaharu Tanaka, Kyoichi Ogura, Teruo Amachi, Hajime Yoshizumi, Hiroshi Ishigooka

Patent number: 4774185Abstract: A novel superoxide dismutase prepared from a superoxide dismutase-producing strain of the genus Nocardiopsis. The enzyme is a tetramer with a molecular weight of about 8.8.times.10.sup.4, composed of sub-units of about 2.2.times.10.sup.4. The superoxide dismutase contains 1.56 g-atoms of iron per mole but no copper or manganese. Potassium cyanide at a concentration of 1 mM does not inhibit activity, however exponential inactivation is caused by 5 mM hydrogen peroxide.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1986Date of Patent: September 27, 1988Assignee: Suntory LimitedInventors: Sumio Asami, Norihide Amano, Teruo Amachi, Hajime Yoshizumi
