Abstract:
Methods include contacting a fermented gas including isoprene with a porous adsorbent and desorbing isoprene adsorbed on the porous adsorbent. The fermented gas may be obtained by culturing a microorganism having an ability to produce isoprene.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition containing linalool, wherein the composition contains a high amount of either enantiomer R-linalool or S-linalool, and has a high content rate of linalool. The present invention also provides a production method for producing the composition. The present invention further provides a composition containing volatile components including linalool, in which a content of linalool in a total content of the volatile components in the composition is 60% or more, and the linalool is present as R-linalool or S-linalool in an amount of 50% or more of the enantiomer, and a production method therefor.
Abstract:
Producing an isoprenoid compound by: 1) culturing an isoprenoid compound-forming microorganism in the presence of a growth promoting agent at a sufficient concentration to grow the isoprenoid compound-forming microorganism; 2) decreasing a concentration of the growth promoting agent to induce formation of the isoprenoid compound by the isoprenoid compound-forming microorganism; and 3) culturing the isoprenoid compound-forming microorganism to form the isoprenoid compound, is characterized in that the growth phase of the isoprenoid compound-forming microorganism is separated from the formation phase of the isoprenoid compound.
