PROCESS FOR PRODUCING L-GLUTAMIC ACID AND ALPHA-KETOGLUTARIC ACID

摘要

A process for producing L-glutamic acid and alpha-ketoglutaric acid. A micro-organism of Micrococcus paraffinolyticus, Brevibacterium ketoglutamicum, Arthrobacter roseoparaffinus, or Arthrobacter hydrocarboglutamicus is cultured under aerobic conditions in an aqueous nutrient medium containing one or more of the normal-paraffins as the major source of carbon.
