| Research Abstract |
Recently, peptides are expected as materials of functional foods or medicine. In this research, we aim to analyze the poly-amino acid synthesizing enzymes and their synthesizing mechanisms, isolation and characterization of various new poly-amino acid producing microorganisms were performed. And then a gene encoding poly-amino acid synthesizing enzyme was characterized. Through the screening with a charged dye and MALDI-TOF MS analysis, various new poly-amino acid producing microorganisms containing a new basic poly-amino acid producing microorganism were obtained. Moreover, a gene encoding NPRS-like enzyme was analyzed.
