Abstract:
The present invention increases yield of the target fermented molecules by spray drying the fermentation broth and reducing the process volume to nearly one tenth the original. Thus, none of the target molecules are lost and requirements of the solvent and the other conventional method process equipments and processing materials are reduced considerably. Product recovery is improved. A major saving in the waste water treatment offsets spray drying and offers better process economics.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a recombinant microorganism being capable of producing vitamin B6, wherein said microorganism carries extra genes which code for an enzyme combination selected from: i) erythrose 4-phosphate dehydrogenase and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase; ii) erythrose 4-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyridoxol 5′-phosphate synthase; and iii) erythrose 4-phosphate dehydrogenase, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase and pyridoxol 5′-phosphate synthase.
Abstract:
Mesophilic methane bacteria obtained from digested sludge are acclimatized in an H2/CO2 medium and the acclimatized methane bacteria are grown on a support inclusive of inorganic nutritional salts of trace metal elements by using an immobilized bed bioreactor. The grown bacteria are allowed to metabolize a mixed gas, prepared by adding hydrogen to at least one of coal gas and biogas, into methane and at the same time, cobalamin contained in the fermented liquor is recovered as an extracellular product in the form of cyanocobalamin by using potassium cyanide to thereby produce vitamin B12 efficiently in a high content and high yield.

Abstract:
There is provided an economical, efficient and industrially useful method of producing vitamin B.sub.12 which comprises cultivating a microorganism belonging to Rhizobium cobalaminogenum which is capable of producing vitamin B.sub.12 in a culture medium to produce vitamin B.sub.12 and recovering the produced vitamin B.sub.12. There are also provided a microorganism belonging to Rhizobium cobalaminogenum which is capable of producing vitamin B.sub.12 and a microorganism Rhizobium cobalaminogenum 27B74 (FERM BP-4429).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a fermentation broth containing coenzyme B.sub.12, with a new, anaerobic, mesophilic, methane-producing mixed micropopulation, under anaerobic, septic conditions, using a new broth containing methanol, precursors and partially known nutrients,In the new process according to the invention the improvement consists in(a) removing 5 to 15 volume percent of the inoculum fermentation broth containing the anaerobic, mesophilic, methan-producing new mixed micropopulation and replacing same with an equal volume of a broth containing cornsteep liquor hydrolysate and/or corn slops of hydrolysate thereof and other known nutrients, the number and concentration of which has been reduced, for 6 to 8 days, and if desired, further manufacturing the fermentation broth removed,(b) after reaching an assimilation velocity of at least 0.15 to 0.2 g methanol/lit. fermentation broth/hour, continuing removal of the fermentation broth as described in step (a) but replacing same with a broth supplemented with ammonium sulfate and o-xylidine, and continuing fermentation for 6 to 8 days, and if desired, further manufacturing the fermentation broth removed,(c) after achieving an assimilation velocity of 0.2 to 0.3 g methanol/lit. fermentation broth/hour--i.e. after converting the inoculum fermentation broth into a maintaining fermentation broth--continuing removal of the fermentation broth and addition of fresh broth as described in step (b), and if desired, interrupting the removal of fermentation broth for several days, and(d) adding of the removed maintaining fermentation broth on the first day nutrients according to step (b), and if desired, on the second day only methanol, cornsteep liquor or cornsteep liquor hydrolysate and ammonium carbonate and further manufacturing the fermentation broth obtained, which is suitable for batchwise production, and(e) repeating steps (a), (c) and (d) daily.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining metal-free corrinoids consisting of inoculating a culture media free of added compounds of metals of the VIIIth group of the Periodic Table with a parent strain of Rhodopseudomonas, cultivating under illumination, repeating the steps of inoculating and cultivating employing said culture media and said illumination employing a part of the sequential culture from the preceding stage as an inoculum in each subsequent state, for a series of several pre-production culture stages, inoculating said culture media with the preceding sequential culture for the last time, cultivating under illumination, separating the microorganism from the culture media of the production culture stage and isolating metal-free corrinoids from the culture media of the production culture stage.
