Genes involved in the growth promoting function of acetic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria bred using the genes, and vinegar producing method using the acetic acid bacteria

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing vinegar containing acetic acid in high concentration in a short time. PSOLUTION: There are provided a DNA encoding a protein having a proliferation-promoting function of acetic acid bacterium in the presence of high concentration acetic acid, a recombinant vector containing the DNA, a transformant containing the recombinant vector, a microorganism enhanced in the proliferation-promoting function in the presence of acetic acid owing to copy number amplification in cells of the DNA, and a method for producing vinegar by culturing the microorganism in an alcohol-containing medium and producing and accumulating acetic acid in the medium.
