METHOD FOR PRODUCING alpha-HOMONOJIRIMYCIN BY FUNGUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a fungus capable of producingα-homonojirimycin and to provide a method for producingα-homonojirimycin using the fungus. SOLUTION: The filamentous fungus belongs to the genus Penicillium. Especially Penicillium sp. AB5577 strain efficiently producesα-homonojirimycin. A fungus belonging to the genus Penicillium is cultured in a nutrient medium andα-homonojirimycin and/or its salt is collected from the culture. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
