Abstract
Strains showing favorable growth in a medium containing 6-ethoxypurine are selected from a population of Bacillus bacteria, and a strain showing high inosine-producing ability is selected from the obtained strains to obtain a Bacillus bacterium having improved inosine-producing ability.
Claims10
A Bacillus bacterium which is modified so that growth inhibition by 6-ethoxypurine is reduced and has inosine-producing ability.
A method for producing a Bacillus bacterium having improved inosine-producing ability, which comprises selecting strains showing favorable growth in a medium containing 6-ethoxypurine from a population of Bacillus bacteria, and selecting a strain showing high inosine-producing ability from the obtained strains.
