IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: The present invention is an economical fermentation method for the production of carboxylic acids comprising the steps of a) inoculating a medium having a carbon source with a carboxylic acid-producing organism; b) incubating the carboxylic acid-producing organism in an aerobic atmosphere to promote rapid growth of the organism thereby increasing the biomass of the organism; c) controllably releasing oxygen to maintain the aerobic atmosphere; d) controllably feeding the organism having increased biomass with a solution containing the carbon source to maintain the concentration of the carbon source within the medium of about 0.5 g/L up to about 1 g/L; e) depriving the aerobic atmosphere of oxygen to produce an anaerobic atmosphere to cause the organism to undergo anaerobic metabolism; f) controllably feeding the organism having increased biomass a solution containing the carbon source to maintain the concentration of the carbon source within the medium of >/=1 g/L; and g) converting the carbon source to carboxylic acids using the anaerobic metabolism of the organism.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hydroquinone derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the hydroquinone derivative being represented by formula (I): <CHEM>  wherein   R<1> is a phenyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted with a substituent or substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom, a C1-4 alkyl group and a C1-4 alkoxy group;   R<2> is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group; each of R<3> and R<4> is independently a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group;   R<5> is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group; each of R<6>, R<7> and R<8> is independently a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group;   P is a hydroxyl group; Q is a hydroxyl group, a C1-4 alkoxy group, a C1-18 acyloxy group or an oxo group;   P may form together with Q an ether bond; R is a hydroxyl group, a C1-4 alkoxy group, a C1-18 acyloxy group or an oxo group, provided that when one of said Q and said R is an oxo group, the other is also an oxo group; X is a single bond, an -NR<10>- group or a -CH2-NR<10>- group in which R<10> is a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group;   Y is a methylene group or a carbonyl group; and dotted bonds in a six membered ring represent that said six membered ring has the maximum number of double bonds.
