METHOD FOR PRODUCING Y-GLUTAMYLCYSTEINE

摘要

THE YEAST WHICH HAS Y-GLUTAMYLCYSTEINE-PRODUCING ABILITY AND IS AUXOTROPHIC FOR PANTOTHENIC ACID IS PROLIFERATED IN A MEDIUM CONTAINING A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PANTOTHENIC ACID, AND THEN IT IS CULTURED IN A MEDIUM CONTAINING A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PANTOTHENIC ACID TO INCREASE THE Y-GLUTAMYLCYSTEINE CONTENT IN ITS CELLS, WHEREBY THE YEAST IN WHICH Y-GLUTAMYLCYSTEINE IS ACCUMULATED IS OBTAINED
