INOSINE-PRODUCING BACTERIUM BELONGING TO GENUS BACILLUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING INOSINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To create a microorganism suitable for producing inosine by a fermentation method; and to provide a method for producing the inosine by using the microorganism.

SOLUTION: The bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus and having improved inosine-producing activities are obtained by selecting strains growing well in a medium containing 6-ethoxypurine from a group of bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus, and selecting the strain having a high activities for producing the inosine from the obtained strains.
