PURINE-DERIVED SUBSTANCE-PRODUCING BACTERIUM AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PURINE-DERIVED SUBSTANCE

摘要

A purine-derived substance is produced by culturing a bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus which has an ability to produce a purine-derived substance and has been modified so that enzymatic activity of transaldolase is decreased in a medium to cause accumulation of a purine-derived substance in the medium or cells, and collecting the purine-derived substance from the medium or cells.
