Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a Tobamovirus genus virus-resistant tomato that has a property of inhibiting infection of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus, a property of suppressing proliferation of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus after being infected, and/or a property of suppressing onset of symptoms caused by infection of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus; tomato cells; and a method for producing the same. The problem is solved by providing a tomato which has a mutation in at least one gene selected from the group consisting of receptor-like kinase (RLK) genes and homologous genes thereof, and in which, by having said mutation, expression of the mutated gene is suppressed or a protein encoded by the mutated gene is not functional with respect to viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus and which is thereby resistant to viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide: a wine-flavored non-alcoholic beverage that can be easily prepared by diluting a genuine non-alcoholic beverage having good compatibility with any food genre, such as Japanese food, Western food, or Chinese food, by using various fruit juices or the like; and a method for producing the wine-flavored non-alcoholic beverage. [Solution] A beverage raw material includes star anise, black pepper, and dried bonito flakes. Immersion mixed water in which the raw material is immersed in water is subjected to heating extraction at 80-130°C to perform solid-liquid separation, whereby a heated water extract liquid of the raw material, which serves as a base of a non-alcoholic beverage, can be obtained. When the beverage is diluted by using various fruit juices or the like, the beverage becomes a red-wine-flavored non-alcoholic beverage.

Abstract

A problem has been found that when a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, in which a gene cassette for high expression of a previously known nifA gene has been introduced in the regulatory region of the nifA gene, is subcultured repeatedly in the absence of a selection drug such as kanamycin, etc., the gene cassette drops out. By introducing a nifA gene expression cassette, which comprises a nifA gene, and a tac or trc promoter, Lac operator, and ribosome binding site (RBS) disposed so as to allow expression of the nifA gene, in a gene locus other than the nifL-nifA gene locus, a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, in which drop out of said gene cassette did not occur even when subculturing was carried out, was obtained. An amino acid- or protein-containing culture or a method for producing a meat alternative using such a nitrogen-fixing bacterium was achieved.

Abstract

The present invention detects, with high sensitivity, a target, on the surface of which exist proteins such as microorganisms and viruses in high density. A first binding molecule and a second binding molecule bonded to a target substance approach each other such that an enzyme reaction caused an enzyme joined to each binding molecule progresses continuously. The enzyme reaction is measured optically.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to develop a method for fermentatively producing L-glutamic acid based on a nitrogen molecule in air using nitrogen-fixing bacteria. A culture method, by which a state in which the nitrogen-fixing bacteria have enhanced nitrogen fixation ability is maintained, has been developed. The culture method is characterized by allowing an organic acid such as citric acid to coexist in a nitrogen-limited medium put in an open-system container. A method for fermentatively producing L-glutamic acid dependent on nitrogen fixation could be developed by culturing genetically modified strains, which highly express a citric acid synthase gene and a citric acid transporter gene, by means of the culture method. A method for fermentatively producing L-glutamic acid dependent on nitrogen fixation could be developed by using modified strains, which highly express a citric acid synthase gene or a 2-methylcitric acid synthase gene, in the process to reach the aforementioned step. The present invention pertains to a production method and a culture method for such microorganisms.
