1-6. Chemical taxonomic properties Genomic DNA was extracted from this strain, and the sequence of 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) was analyzed. The determined base sequence of 1481 bp is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 in the sequence listing. Using the 16S rDNA base sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2) of this strain thus obtained, homology is searched against the DNA base sequence database (Apollon DB-BA4.0), and related bacterial groups and phylogenetic trees are prepared. As a result, this strain was estimated to belong to the genus Pseudoclavibacter. The most closely related reference strain was Pseudoclavacter helvolus DSM 20419 strain [Accession No. X77440] and showed 99.7% homology. From the above results, this strain is included in the genus Pseudoclavibacter, and among the known species, it is considered to be most closely related to Pseudoclavacter helbolus. However, both 16S rDNAs do not completely match, and it cannot be denied that the present strain and Pseudoclavibacter helbolus are different strains as species. From these things, this strain was determined to be Pseudoclavibacter sp.

Next, a method for culturing microorganisms belonging to the genus Rhodococcus and Pseudoclavibacter used in the method of the present invention will be described.
As a method for preparing the microorganism culture solution, (a) a method of obtaining a culture solution by inoculating microorganism cells in a medium to which a carbon source and a nitrogen source are appropriately added and allowing them to grow in the same medium; ) A method of performing culture stepwise to obtain a culture solution, that is, a method of obtaining a culture solution by combining pre-culture and main culture, preferably method (a). The method (a) is for the purpose of securing microorganisms to be used in the main culture by pre-culturing as a preculture, inoculating the cells of the microorganisms in a medium appropriately supplemented with a carbon source and a nitrogen source, and growing the microorganisms. After obtaining the first stage culture solution (hereinafter referred to as pre-culture solution), the main culture is then added to the medium with an increased volume, and the carbon source and nitrogen source are added appropriately. This is a method for obtaining a second-stage culture solution (hereinafter referred to as a main culture solution) for the purpose of producing an enzyme sufficient for an accumulation reaction by culturing microorganisms. However, the method for preparing a culture solution containing the cells of the microorganism is not limited to these methods, and it is also possible to carry out a combination of three or more cultures.

  The medium for culturing the microorganism is not particularly limited as long as it is a medium in which these microorganisms can usually grow, and any known medium for general microorganisms can be used. As the carbon source and nitrogen source of the medium, yeast extract, peptone, meat extract, amino acid, inorganic nitrogen, organic acid, saccharide and the like can be used. If necessary, trace metal salts, vitamins, nucleic acid-related substances, inorganic salts, and the like can be added.

  As a supply method of the carbon source and the nitrogen source, (1) a method of adding in advance when the medium is prepared, and (2) a method of supplying the carbon source and the nitrogen source continuously or intermittently according to the growth of the microorganism. Can be mentioned. In the method (2), since the carbon source and nitrogen source consumed by the growth of microorganisms are added, the microorganism concentration is increased even when the growth of microorganisms is inhibited by a high concentration of carbon source and nitrogen source. There are advantages that can be made. More specifically, the method (2) includes a method of adding a carbon source and a nitrogen source in accordance with the rate at which a microorganism consumes the carbon source and the nitrogen source. For example, when the pH of the microorganism increases and the aqueous solution containing the carbon source and the nitrogen source is acidic, the pH source is used to adjust the carbon source and the nitrogen source so that the pH of the culture solution becomes constant. When an acidic aqueous solution containing is added, a method of adding a carbon source and a nitrogen source little by little as the growth of microorganisms proceeds.

  Furthermore, in culturing, in order to maximize the ability of the microorganism to produce (S) -3-quinuclidinol from 3-quinuclidinone, saccharides, organic acids or amino acids can be added and cultured. . Particularly effective substances are D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose, D-ribose, mannitol, glycerol, D-xylose, sorbitol, D-lactose, maltose, L-malic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, glucone Acid, L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine and the like, and is 0.1 to 5.0 w / v%, preferably 0.5 to 2.0 w / v% based on the medium. In this specification, w / v means mass / volume, and v / v means volume / volume.

The culture temperature of the microorganism is 10 to 37 ° C, preferably 23 to 32 ° C. The pH of the medium during the culture is 6.0 to 10.0, preferably 6.5 to 9.0. Cultivation is preferably performed under aerobic conditions, and it is desirable to perform aeration and agitation during liquid culture. The culture time is 10 hours to 1 week, preferably 1 to 3 days, more preferably 1 to 2 days.
As the culture proceeds, the amount of enzyme production increases, but in the latter half of the culture, the growth rate decreases, the consumption rate of the carbon source and nitrogen source, and the enzyme production rate also decrease, and the culture is terminated. The end of the main culture can also be determined from the total amount of carbon source and nitrogen source added, the culture time, the concentration of the bacterial cells, the amount of enzyme produced, and the like.

As described above, the cultured cells of the microorganism can be accumulated in the culture solution and used for the accumulation reaction of (S) -3-quinuclidinol from 3-quinuclidinone.
[I] The obtained culture solution may be used as it is for the accumulation reaction described below,
[Ii] Microorganisms can be collected from the culture solution and used for the reaction, and [iii] microorganism processed products such as crushed materials, crude enzymes, purified enzymes, etc. can also be used for the reaction.
Then, the reaction which produces | generates (S) -3-quinuclidinol from 3-quinuclidinone can be performed with the said microorganisms or its processed material. This accumulation reaction can be performed either batchwise or continuously using a bioreactor. In the case of a batch type reaction, it can be carried out in several hours to 10 days.

The case of the above [i] will be specifically described. To the culture solution containing the microorganisms grown by the above culture method, 3-quinuclidinone and saccharides, organic acids, alcohols and the like are added directly, (S) Reaction to accumulate -3-quinuclidinol in the system can be initiated.
The pH of the accumulation reaction is 5.0 to 10.0, preferably pH 5.0 to 8.0. The reaction temperature is 10-50 ° C, preferably 20-40 ° C. The addition amount of the substrate 3-quinuclidinone is 0.1 to 10.0 w / v%, preferably 0.3 to 5.0 w / v%, based on the reaction solution. Addition of 3-quinuclidinone may be performed at once, but when reaction inhibition by high concentration of 3-quinuclidinone is observed, it may be added in divided portions.

In general, 3-quinuclidinone asymmetric reductase is used in the asymmetric reduction reaction of 3-quinuclidinone in the amount of reduced coenzyme (reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or reduced nicotine adenine) equivalent to 3-quinuclidinone. It is said that dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is required as a reducing agent.After the reduction reaction of 3-quinuclidinone, the coenzymes are oxidized nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD ⁺ ) or oxidized nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADP ^{+), respectively.} ).
In order to proceed with the asymmetric reduction reaction of 3-quinuclidinone with a catalytic amount of coenzyme, a reaction for regenerating the oxidized coenzyme NAD ⁺ or NADP ⁺ to the reduced coenzyme NADH or NADPH is required. In general, the coenzyme regeneration reaction uses an oxidation reaction of glucose using glucose dehydrogenase.

  In general, as a source of an enzyme that regenerates a coenzyme such as glucose dehydrogenase, a commercially available enzyme is used, or an enzyme that regenerates a coenzyme is produced by gene recombination. It is possible to efficiently convert 3-quinuclidinone to (S) -3-quinuclidinol only by adding saccharides, organic acids, alcohols and the like without adding an enzyme that regenerates the coenzyme.

Examples of saccharides, organic acids, alcohols include saccharides such as D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose, D-ribose, D-xylose, sorbitol, D-lactose, maltose, organic acids such as citric acid, ethanol, etc. Examples include alcohols. The addition amount of saccharides, organic acids, alcohols and the like is 0.1 to 15.0 w / v%, preferably 0. 0 to the reaction solution in which 3-quinuclidinone is reduced to produce (S) -3-quinuclidinol. 3 to 10.0 w / v%. Addition of saccharides, organic acids, alcohols and the like may be performed at once, but when reaction inhibition by high concentrations of saccharides, organic acids, alcohols, etc. is observed, they may be added separately.
The accumulation reaction of (S) -3-quinuclidinol can be started from the time when the microorganism is sufficiently grown and the conversion ability becomes sufficient. By adding 3-quinuclidinone to the medium in a concentration range where inhibition does not occur, microbial growth and (S) -3-quinuclidinol accumulation reaction can be performed simultaneously.

  In the case of the above [ii], the microorganisms grown by the above culture method can be recovered from the culture solution by filtration or centrifugation and used for the accumulation reaction. That is, the obtained microorganisms are physiological saline containing 3-quinuclidinone and saccharides, organic acids, alcohols, potassium phosphate buffer, Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer, glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer, boric acid-hydroxylized. It can be suspended in an aqueous solvent such as sodium buffer and used for the reaction. The reaction conditions (pH, temperature, addition amount of 3-quinuclidinone and saccharides, organic acid, alcohol, etc.) are the same as in [i].

  Furthermore, in the case of the above-mentioned [iii], the processed product (for example, crushed material, crude enzyme, purified enzyme) grown and recovered by the culture method is 3-quinuclidinone, saccharides, organic acid, alcohols. It can be used in the reaction by suspending in an aqueous solvent containing the above. Alternatively, the microorganism or a processed product thereof may be immobilized on a suitable carrier by a known method, and the immobilized product may be used in the reaction by contacting with an aqueous solvent. Examples of the aqueous solvent used for the accumulation reaction using the microorganism or a processed product thereof include physiological saline, potassium phosphate buffer, Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer, glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer, boric acid-sodium hydroxide buffer. And so on. The reaction conditions are the same as in [i].

  From the reaction solution after the accumulation reaction obtained as described above, if necessary, microorganisms are removed by filtration, centrifugation, etc., and then (S) -3-quinuclidinol is extracted with a solvent, and (S) -3-Quinuclidinol can be recovered. When a processed product such as a crude enzyme or a purified enzyme is used, the microorganism removing operation can be omitted. In addition, (S) -3-quinuclidinol can also be recovered by a known purification method such as chromatography.
