20130323357 | CONTAINERS FOR FERMENTED SOYBEANS (NATTO), FERMENTED SOYBEANS WITHIN SAID CONTAINERS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A natto (fermented soybeans) container | 12-05-2013 |
20100291264 | NOVEL STRAIN IN NATTO-PRODUCING BACTERIA AND SOFT NATTO PRODUCED BY USING SAID STRAIN - [Object] To provide a strain in natto-producing bacteria that is suitable for the production of soft natto (a fermented soybean product). | 11-18-2010 |
20100159541 | GENE ASSOCIATED WITH FOAM FORMATION OF ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM, ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM BRED BY MODIFYING THE GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING VINEGAR USING THE ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM - The object of the present invention is to provide a method for suppressing foam formation by identifying a gene involved in foam formation during culture of an acetic acid bacterium and reducing or deleting the function of a protein encoded by the gene, a method for more efficiently producing vinegar that contains a high concentration of acetic acid by using an acetic acid bacterium in which foam formation has been suppressed by the above method, and vinegar produced by the production method. An acetic acid bacterium with suppressed foam formation was given by obtaining a gene encoding a protein involved in foam formation during culture of an acetic acid bacterium, then by altering the gene by a modification to reduce or delete the function of a protein involved in foam formation. Further provided is a method for efficiently producing vinegar with a higher concentration of acetic acid with the use of the acetic acid bacterium. | 06-24-2010 |
20100137641 | GENE INVOLVED IN QUORUM-SENSING SYSTEM OF ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM, ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM BRED BY MODIFICATION OF THE GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF VINEGAR BY USING THE ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM - The object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently producing vinegar that contains a higher concentration of acetic acid, wherein a gene involved in the acetic acid fermentation ability is obtained, the acetic acid fermentation ability of an acetic acid bacterium is improved by reducing or deleting the function of the protein encoded by the gene. An acetic acid bacterium with a remarkably improved acetic acid fermentation ability was obtained by obtaining genes encoding an acyl homoserine lactone synthase and an acyl homoserine lactone receptor-type transcription factor that are involved in the quorum-sensing system in the acetic acid bacterium, and modifying the genes so as to reduce or delete the function of the quorum-sensing system. Further provided is a method for more efficiently producing vinegar containing a higher concentration of acetic acid by using the acetic acid bacterium. | 06-03-2010 |
20100105117 | GENE ASSOCIATED WITH FOAM FORMATION OF ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM, ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM BRED BY MODIFYING THE GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING VINEGAR USING THE ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM - The object of the present invention is to provide a method for suppressing foam formation by identifying a gene involved in foam formation during culture of an acetic acid bacterium and reducing or deleting the function of a protein encoded by the gene, a method for more efficiently producing vinegar that contains a high concentration of acetic acid by using an acetic acid bacterium in which foam formation has been suppressed by the above method, and vinegar produced by the above production method. An acetic acid bacterium with suppressed foam formation was obtained by isolating a gene encoding a protein involved in foam formation during culture of an acetic acid bacterium, then by altering the gene by a modification to reduce or delete the function of a protein involved in foam formation. Further provided is a method for efficiently producing vinegar with higher concentration of acetic acid with the use of the acetic acid bacterium. | 04-29-2010 |
20090209023 | METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM-TYPE CERAMIDE - [Problems] To provide a method for efficient production of an acetic acid bacterium-type ceramide which is expected to have physiological effects such as making skin beautiful, by increasing the content of ceramide contained in cells of an acetic acid bacterium. | 08-20-2009 |
