Bacterial Strains and Fermentation Processes for the Production of 2-Keto-L-Gulonic Acid

摘要

The present invention relates to novel bacterial strains belonging to the genera Gluconobacter, Ketogulonogenium and Bacillus useful for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid. The present invention further relates to the use of these strains for the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid in mixed culture by fermentative conversion of D-sorbitol. The present invention further relates to the strains of the present invention transformed by a vector.
