NEW LACTOBACILLUS HAVING HIGH PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF gamma-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID, AND gamma-AMINO BUTYRIC ACID AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING LACTIC ACID FERMENTED FOOD BY USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new lactobacillus having a high production capacity of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a method for producing the GABA and method for producing a GABA-containing lactic acid fermented food by using the lactobacillus, and a glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and nucleic acid encoding the same obtained from the lactobacillus.

SOLUTION: This new lactobacillus of Lactobacillus sp. L13 (NITE P-253) having a high production capacity of the GABA, the method for producing the GABA and method for producing the GABA-containing lactic acid fermented food by using the lactobacillus, and the GAD and nucleic acid encoding the same obtained from the lactobacillus are provided.
