  • Patent number: 7456010
    Abstract: The invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 producing 5?-xanthylic acid. More specifically, the invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 which is a mutant strain of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 having a resistance to osmotic pressure. In order to obtain mutant strain having enhanced respiratory activity, the present invention adopted Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 as parent strain and treated it with UV radiation and mutation derivatives such as N-methyl-N?-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) according to ordinary procedure. Therefore, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXSP 0201 KCCM 10448 of the present invention makes it possible to overcome growth-standing phase rapidly on early culture and for same period of fermentation, can accumulate 5?-xanthylic acid in culture medium at a high yield and concentration rate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7217558
    Abstract: The invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXOL 0201 KCCM 10447 producing 5?-xanthylic acid. More specifically, the invention relates to Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXOL 0201 KCCM 10447 which is a mutant strain of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 having a resistance to oligomycin. In order to obtain mutant strain having enhanced respiratory activity, the present invention adopted Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KCCM 10340 as parent strain and treated it with UV radiation and mutation derivatives such as N-methyl-N?-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine(NTG) according to ordinary procedure. Therefore, Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXOL 0201 KCCM 10447 of the present invention makes it possible to increase ATP reproducing activity for same period of fermentation and can accumulate 5?xanthylic acid in culture medium at a high yield and concentration rate.

  • Patent number: 6821768
    Abstract: The invention relates to microorganism producing 5′-xanthylic acid. A 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline resistant Corynebacterium ammoniagenes CJXPK001 strain is provided for producing 5′-xanthylic acid. It is a mutant strain of Corynebacterium ammoniagenes KFCC 10743 having a lower resistance to 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline. The mutant strain is not affected by osmotic pressure caused by accumulated, highly concentrated solute in a culture medium, and it can produce 5′-xanthylic acid at a high yield and concentration rate.
