GENE INVOLVED IN ACETIC ACID TOLERANCE, ACETIC ACID BACTERIA BRED USING THE GENE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING VINEGAR USING THE ACETIC ACID BACTERIA

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2005013105

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To obtain a new acetic acid-tolerant gene, to breed acetic acid bacteria enhanced in acetic acid tolerance using the gene, to provide a method for improving the acetic acid tolerance of microorganisms belonging to acetic acid bacteria, and to provide a method for efficiently producing vinegar of high acetic acid concentration using the acetic acid bacteria with improved acetic acid tolerance.

The new gene comprises a DNA encoding the following protein(A) or (B): (A) a protein having an amino acid sequence shown by the Sequence No.2 or (B) a protein having an amino acid sequence with one or several amino acids substituted, deleted, inserted, added or inverted in the above-amino acid sequence and having the function of enhancing acetic acid tolerance.
