Title:
INDUSTRIALLY USEFUL MICROORGANISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/057341
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
After culturing for a definite period of time, a mutant of wild type Escherichia coli, which has a chromosomal DNA shorter by 470 kbp or more than the chromosomal DNA of the wild type, shows a larger cell count than the wild type. Therefore, a useful substance such as a protein, a peptide, an amino acid, a nucleic acid, a vitamin, a saccharide, an organic acid or a lipid can be efficiency produced by culturing the above-described mutant in a medium and thus allowing it to produce and accumulate the useful substance in the culture medium.
