TH55144A - Methods for producing fermented products and pressure-resistant microorganisms. - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (28/10/42) A method for producing fermented products using microorganisms. The method involves culturing microorganisms in a medium to produce and accumulate fermentation products, where the microorganisms express a heat-sensitive protein derived from a heat-loving original strain, KOD-1, in microbial cells through the introduction of a gene that transcribes for the heat-sensitive protein.

Claims (8)

1. Methods for producing fermented products using microorganisms; the method involves culturing microorganisms in a medium to produce and accumulate fermentation products in the medium, and collecting the fermentation products. The microorganisms express a heat-sensitive protein, KOD-1, derived from a heat-sensitive original strain, in the microbial cells through the introduction of a gene that encodes the heat-sensitive protein. 2. The method under Claim 1, where the fermentation product is amino acids. 3. The method under Claim 1, whereby the microorganism is a bacterium of the Escherichia genus or a Coryneform bacterium. 4. Method according to claim 2, where the microorganism is a bacterium of the Escherichia genus or Coryneform bacteria. 5. Fermented microorganisms that express a heat-sensitive protein (KOD) derived from a heat-dependent original strain in their cells through the introduction of a gene that transcribes the heat-sensitive protein. 6. Microorganisms as per claim 5, which produce fermentation of amino acids. 7. The microorganism under claim 5, whereby the microorganism is a bacterium of the Escherichia genus or a Coryneform bacterium. 8. The microorganism under claim 6, whereby the microorganism is a bacterium of the Escherichia genus or a Coryneform bacterium.
