Process for manufacturing beer

Described herein are a novel heat-resistant .beta.-galactosyltransferase, a production process of the enzyme and a utilization method of the enzyme. The enzyme is produced preferably by produced by a microorganism belonging to the family of Actinomycetaceae, which may be selected from fungi belonging to the genus Saccharopolyspora, the genus Thermomonospora or the genus Thermoactinomvces.

Heat-resistant .beta.-galactosyltransferase, its production process and

A peroxidase gene derived from Arthromyse ramosus and its cloning and expression in E. coli and yeast is disclosed. The peroxidase encoded by this gene is not-specific and does not contain isozymes and hence is suitable as a diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme innunoassays.

Peroxidase gene of microbial origin

Described herein are a novel heat-resistant .beta.-galactosyltransferase, a production process of the enzyme and a utilization method of the enzyme. The enzyme is produced preferably by produced by a microorganism belonging to the family of Actinomycetaceae, which may be selected from fungi belonging to the genus Saccharopolyspora, the genus Thermomonospora or the genus Thermoactinomyces.

Process for producing novel heat-resistant .beta.-galactosyltransferase

A novel peroxidase was obtained from a fast growing microorganism of the genus Coprinus cinereus. The fungal peroxidase is comparable to the conventional peroxidase derived from horseradish or Japanese radish in that it can be used either as a clinical or diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme immunoassay.

Process for producing peroxidase

Process for preparing lipase

A novel superoxide dismutase prepared from a superoxide dismutase-producing strain of the genus Nocardiopsis. The enzyme is a tetramer with a molecular weight of about 8.8.times.10.sup.4, composed of sub-units of about 2.2.times.10.sup.4. The superoxide dismutase contains 1.56 g-atoms of iron per mole but no copper or manganese. Potassium cyanide at a concentration of 1 mM does not inhibit activity, however exponential inactivation is caused by 5 mM hydrogen peroxide.

Novel superoxide dismutase and process for preparation thereof

A hair tonic composition comprising an effective amount of an extract extracted by a solvent from dong chong xia cao and a conventional base medum for a hair tonic composition, a process for production thereof, and the use thereof.

Hair tonic composition

A hair treatment composition containing, as an effective ingredient, lipase. This hair treatment composition can effectively prevent the generation of dandruff and itching and can also effectively accelerate the growth of hair.

Hair treatment composition

A novel peroxidase that is non specific and that does not contain isozymes and hence, is suitable as a diagnostic reagent or as a marker enzyme in enzyme immunoassay is provided as well as a process of its preparation. The novel peroxidase is produced by a microorganism of a new genus Arthromyces.

Peroxidase and a process of its preparation

A hair tonic composition containing, as an effective ingredient, a product obtained from the interaction of a vegetable or animal fat or oil with a microorganism belonging to Staphylococcus capitis. This hair tonic composition can effectively prevent the generation of dandruff and itching and can also effectively accelerate the growth of hair.

A microbial hair tonic composition containing, as an effective ingredient, cells belonging to species Staphylococcus capitis, or the crushed products, extracts, or cultured products thereof. This microbial hair tonic composition can effectively prevent the generation of dandruff and itching and can also effectively accelerate the growth of hair.
