Abstract: A plurality of primer sets are designed based on a region where conservation at the amino acid level is observed among various microorganisms for known gene sequences corresponding to a gene coding for an enzyme of the L-amino acid biosynthetic pathway derived from  Corynebacterium thermoaminogenes,  preferably an enzyme that functions at a higher temperature compared with that of  Corynebacterium glutamicum.  PCR is performed by using the primers and chromosomal DNA of  Corynebacterium thermoaminogenes  as a template. The primers with which an amplification fragment has been obtained are used as primers for screening to select a clone containing a target DNA fragment from a plasmid library of chromosomal DNA of  Corynebacterium thermoaminogenes.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, l'affectation de bits optimisée joue un rôle important dans la compression vidéo pour augmenter l'efficacité de codage, autrement dit pour optimiser l'utilisation du débit de données disponible. Eu égard au système visuel humain, un être humain accorde d'ordinaire plus d'attention à une partie d'une image plutôt qu'à d'autres parties de cette image. Par conséquent, l'affectation de bits doit être optimisée pour des zones d'image à différences d'attention (GOBi). Le système d'affectation de bits par distorsion de cette invention affecte la distortion d'erreur de codage/décodage à des zones d'image en fonction du système visuel humain et respecte également la contrainte de débit binaire. Cette invention fait appel à une analyse d'histogramme de paramètres de distorsion/débit binaire/quantification rho. Sur la base des tableaux correspondants (DGOBi[QPn], RGOBi[QPn] et ρGOBi[QPn]), les rapports entre le paramètre de quantification, le débit, la distorsion et le pourcentage de coefficients non nuls pour les zones à différences d'attention sont déterminés (PREALUTI, DISALL, RALL). Ensuite, une commande de débit binaire dans le domaine rho est utilisée (RDBALL) pour calculer l'affectation de bits à l'intérieur de chaque groupe de macroblocs.
