Abstract:
Method and apparatus for determination of the concentration of a component in a solution, such as ethyl alcohol in gasohol, acetic acid in hexane-acetic acid solution, or the like. Such determination is made with ease and accuracy based on a rate of pressure change caused in a closed container due to mass transfer occurring between two liquids through porous material.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a transformant into which has been incorporated DNA for coding a foreign protein having lactate dehydrogenase activity and provided with pyruvic acid substrate affinity that equals or exceeds the pyruvic acid substrate affinity of the pyruvate decarboxylase inherent in the host organism. Said transformant can stably mass-produce lactic acid inside a host organism having the pyruvate decarboxylase gene.

Abstract:
A method for detecting or quantitating a mutagenic substance in a sample includes culturing a host microorganism transformed with a recombinant gene comprising an SOS gene and genes expressing luciferase activity and optionally genes expressing an enzyme which catalyzes the production of a substrate for luciferase, positioned downstream of the SOS gene, in a medium to which the sample is added; and measuring a luminescence generated by expression of the gene expressing luciferase activity. The method is sensitive, accurate and non-time consuming; and gene systems used for said method, i.e., a recombinant gene comprising an SOS gene expressed when a DNA is damaged and a gene expressing luciferase activity positioned downstream of the SOS gene, and a host microorganism transformed with said recombinant gene. Preferably the recombinant gene further comprises a gene expressing an enzyme which catalyses the production of a substrate for the luciferase in the down stream of the SOS gene.
Abstract:
A highly thermostable polypeptide possessing protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) activity, a gene coding for the polypeptide and a process for producing the polyeptide are provided. The polypeptide possessing PDI activity is characterized by A) having a capability of catalyzing a disulfide exchange in proteins, B) recognizing mainly ribonuclease A as a substrate, C) having a suitable active temperature of 20.degree. to 70.degree. C., D) being stable at a pH value of 6 to 9, and E) having a molecular weight of about 60,000 to 62,000. Since it has a higher thermostability and exhibits a stable activity in a wider dithiothreitol concentration range as compared with the conventional PDI, it is possible to provide a novel enzyme active protein which can be advantageously used for a refolding reaction of certain proteins. Further, a process which enables the polylpeptide possessing PDI activity to be efficiently produced using Humicola insolens or a transformant transformed with an expression vector containing the above-described gene is also provided.
