  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates embodiment of this invention concretely, this invention is not limited to a following example.

(Test Example 1: AOH production activity evaluation)
AOH production activity was examined using the following microorganisms.
Burkholderia contaminens CH-1
Burkholderia carryophylli NBRC 13591
Burkholderia cepacia NBRC 14595
Burkholderia caledonica NBRC 102488
Burkholderia fungorum NBRC 1024889
Burkholderia ferrariae NBRC 106233
Burkholderia ginsengisoli NBRC 100965
Burkholderia mimosarum NBRC 106338
Among the above-mentioned microorganisms, Burkholderia contaminens CH-1 (hereinafter also referred to as “CH-1 strain”) was isolated from the collected airborne fungus, and a standard strain of Burkholderia contaminens (strain J2956) was analyzed by 16S rDNA system analysis. ) Was 100%, confirming that it was the species. All other microorganisms were sold by NBRC (Biotechnology Center, National Institute of Product Evaluation Technology).

  A medium having the composition shown in Table 1 was used. As phosphate buffered saline (PBS), a 10 × PBS solution having the composition shown in Table 2 was diluted 10-fold with distilled water.

  One platinum ear of each of the above strains was inoculated into 5 ml of TSB medium dispensed into a test tube, and cultured with shaking at 30 ° C. and 180 rpm. 1% of the preculture was inoculated into a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask into which 100 ml of TSB medium was dispensed, and cultured at 30 ° C. for 6 hours at 180 rpm. 1 ml of the obtained culture broth was centrifuged at 11000 rpm for 5 minutes to collect bacteria. To the collected cells, 1 ml of PBS was added and washed by centrifugation at 11000 rpm for 5 minutes.

  A fixed amount of the washed cells was suspended in 900 μl of PBS, and 100 μl of 0.7 mg / ml AHX in PBS was added to the suspension to prepare a reaction solution having an AHX concentration of 70 μg / ml. The reaction solution was transferred to a round bottom Spitz and reacted at 30 ° C. for 24 hours. After a predetermined time, the reaction solution was centrifuged to separate the cells, and the supernatant was collected and heat-treated at 98 ° C. for 5 minutes. The AHX and AOH concentrations in the reaction supernatant were analyzed by HPLC. HPLC analysis conditions were as follows: Column: Develosil C30-UG-5 (Nomura Chemical Co., Ltd.), mobile phase: water + 0.02% TFA, temperature: room temperature, flow rate: 0.8 ml / min, wavelength: 254 nm, injection: 20 μl It was. The retention times of AHX and AOH were 25.2 minutes and 26.6 minutes, respectively. The results are shown in Table 3. It should be noted that, under the HPLC analysis conditions of this example, separation from impurities may be insufficient, and therefore the AOH concentration may be apparently measured higher than it actually is.

  It was confirmed that any bacteria used had the ability to produce AOH using AHX as a substrate. Among them, the CH-1 strain, Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia fungorum all converted AHX in the medium into AOH, and had a conversion efficiency of 100%.

(Test Example 2: Comparison of AOH production activity)
Using three types of strains, CH-1 strain, Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia fungorum, AOH generating activity was investigated up to 6 hours from the start of the reaction. The reaction conditions were the same as in Test Example 1 except that the reaction time was a predetermined time. The AHX and AOH concentrations in the reaction solution were analyzed by HPLC in the same manner as in Test Example 1 at a predetermined time. The results are shown in FIG. 1 (CH-1 strain), FIG. 2 (Burkholderia cepacia), and FIG. 3 (Burkholderia fungorum). Among the above three types, the CHOH strain had the highest AOH production activity.

(Test Example 3: Examination of reaction inhibition by products)
Using the CH-1 strain, the reaction was conducted for 96 hours under the same conditions as in Test Example 1 except that the initial concentration of AHX in the reaction solution was 2 mg / ml and the bacterial cell concentration was 3 times that of Test Example 1. It was. During the reaction, the AHX concentration and AOH concentration in the reaction solution were measured by HPLC in the same manner as in Test Example 1 at a predetermined time. The results are shown in FIG. In addition, the concentration of AHX was also 2 mg / ml, and AOH was produced at 30 ° C. using 0.5 U of xanthine oxidase (derived from buttermilk, Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.). Similarly, the AHX concentration and AOH concentration in the reaction solution were Measurements were made. The results are shown in FIG.

  In the reaction using xanthine oxidase, the AHX concentration did not change while maintaining a constant amount after a certain period of time, suggesting that reaction inhibition by the generated AOH occurred (FIG. 5). On the other hand, in the reaction using the CH-1 strain, the reaction resulted in an AHX concentration in the reaction solution of 0 mg / ml, indicating that all the AHX used was converted to AOH (FIG. 4).

(Test Example 4: AOH decomposition reaction evaluation)
Using the CH-1 strain, the reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Test Example 1 except that the bacterial cell concentration in the reaction solution was twice that of Test Example 1 and AOH was used as the substrate instead of AHX. The concentration of AOH in the reaction solution was measured by HPLC as in Test Example 1. The results are shown in FIG. Suspending AOH with the CH-1 strain did not reduce the concentration of AOH. It was confirmed that the AOH degradation activity of the CH-1 strain was extremely weak.

(Test Example 5: AOH yield evaluation)
The same reaction conditions as in Test Example 1 except that the concentration of cells in the reaction solution was three times that of Test Example 1 and the initial concentration of AHX and the reaction temperature were as shown in Table 4 using the CH-1 strain. The reaction was carried out for 8 hours. After the reaction, the reaction solution was centrifuged to separate the cells, and a supernatant was obtained. The supernatant was heat treated at 98 ° C. for 5 minutes, concentrated to 1/7 volume with a rotary evaporator, and allowed to stand at 4 ° C. for 3 days to form a precipitate. Thereafter, the liquid containing the precipitate was filtered with a filter paper, the obtained product was dried to recover AOH, and the yield of AOH based on the amount of AHX used was calculated. Table 4 shows the initial amount of AHX used and the AOH yield after 30 hours of culture.

  AOH could be produced with high efficiency by a method using microorganisms such as CH-1 strain (microbe method). In addition, compared to a method of carrying out an AOH production reaction using XOD (XOD method), in the microbial method, reaction inhibition due to the produced AOH is less likely to occur, so that the substrate concentration in the medium can be increased by about 60 times. It was possible. As a result, when compared with the amount of AOH produced, the amount of the reaction solution used can be reduced to about 1/45 of that in the case of the XOD method by the microbial method. Was able to be shortened. In addition, the microbial method could produce AOH at a significantly lower cost than the XOD method.

As the medium, TSB medium or YM medium having the composition shown in Tables 6 and 7 was diluted 5-fold. The colonies that appeared on the medium were streaked into the TSA medium to obtain each strain.

  Each of the above strains was inoculated into 5 mL of TSB medium dispensed into a test tube and cultured with shaking at 30 ° C. and 180 rpm, and this was used as a preculture solution. 1% of the preculture was inoculated into TSB medium and cultured at 30 ° C. for 8 hours at 180 rpm. The resulting culture solution (1 ml) was collected by centrifugation.

  After washing the collected cells with PBS, 100 μl of 0.7 mg / ml AHX in PBS was added to the suspension, and a reaction solution with an AHX concentration of 70 μg / ml was added to the suspension. Produced. The reaction solution was transferred to a round bottom Spitz and reacted at 30 ° C. for 5 hours. After a predetermined time, the reaction solution was centrifuged to separate the cells, and the supernatant was collected and treated at 98 ° C. for 5 minutes.
