MICROBIAL STRAIN PRODUCING epsilon-POLY-L-LYSINE HAVING LOW POLYMERIZATION DEGREE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING epsilon-POLY-L-LYSINE HAVING LOW POLYMERIZATION DEGREE BY USING THE STRAIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microbial strain producingε-poly-L-lysine having a low polymerization degree and a method for producingε-poly-L-lysine having a low polymerization degree and containing a considerable amount ofε-poly-L-lysine having a specific polymerization degree by using the strain. SOLUTION: The invention provides Streptomyces aureofaciens USE-82 (FERM P-19661) capable of producingε-poly-L-lysine having a low polymerization degree and its variant and a method for producingε-poly-L-lysine having a low polymerization degree by using the strain.
