STRAIN PRODUCING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT EPSILON-POLY-L- LYSINE AND PRODUCTION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT EPSILON- POLY-L-LYSINE USING THE STRAIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a strain capable of producing low molecular weight polylysine in a substantial amount, and to provide a method for producing low molecular weight polylysine.;SOLUTION: This strain is Streptomyces sp. SP-66 strain (FERM P-17,223) or its variant capable of producing low molecular weight ε-L-polylysine. The method for producing the polylysine is to culture Streptomyces sp. SP-66 strain (FERM P-17,223) or its variant capable of producing low molecular weight ε-L-polylysine in a liquid culture medium and then to collect the low molecular weight ε-L-polylysine produced and accumulated in the culture solution.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
