A brevibacterium containing a recombinant DNA molecule constructed by operatively connecting a gene coding for shikimate kinase isolated from Brevibacterium lactofermentum to a plasmid vector capable of replicating in the Brevibacterium is disclosed along with methods of preparing this bacterium and of using it in the production of aromatic amino acids.
5017482 PROCESS FOR PRODUCING L-ARGININE
5017487 VACCINIA DNA Hendrik G Stunnenberg, Riccardo Wittek, Bammental, Federal Republic Of Germany assigned to Hoffmann-La Roche lnc New transcriptional regulatory sequences useful in the expression of pro- or eukaryotic proteins in eukaryotic organisms are provided comprising the 5" flanking region of the vaccinia virus late II kDa gene. Also described are recombinant vectors and recombinant infectious poxviruses containing such transcriptional regulatory sequences operatively linked to foreign genes, and live vaccines based upon these recombinant infectious poxviruses.
Ryoichi Katsumata, Haruhiko Yokoi, Machida, Japan assigned to Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co Ltd L-arginine is produced by constructing a recombinant DNA composed of a vector DNA and a DNA fragment derived from chromosomal D N A of a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium and bearing genetic information relating to the synthesis of L-arginine-biosynthetic enzyme, introducing the recombinant DNA in a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium, culturing the microorganism in a medium, and recovering L-arginine accumulated in the culture broth.
