Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a monoacylated MEL. A microorganism of the genus Pseudozyma produces monoacylated MEL-B.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A microorganism of the genus Pseudozyma producing monoacylated MEL-B, wherein the microorganism is deficient in a gene encoding a transporter MMF1. 2 . The microorganism according to claim 1 , further producing monoacylated MEL-D. 3 . The microorganism according to claim 1 , wherein the microorganism is Pseudozyma tsukubaensis. 4 . A method for producing monoacylated MEL-B by culturing the microorganism of claim 1 . 5 . A MEL-containing composition obtained by culturing the microorganism of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises monoacylated MEL-B and an aqueous solvent. 6 . The microorganism according to claim 3 , further producing monoacylated MEL-D. 7 . A method for producing monoacylated MEL-B by culturing the microorganism of claim 6 . 8 . A MEL-containing composition obtained by culturing the microorganism of claim 6 , wherein the composition further comprises monoacylated MEL-B. 9 . A method for producing monoacylated MEL-B by culturing the microorganism of claim 2 . 10 . A method for producing monoacylated MEL-B by culturing the microorganism of claim 3 . 11 . A MEL-containing composition obtained by culturing the microorganism of claim 2 , wherein the composition further comprises monoacylated MEL-B and an aqueous solvent. 12 . A MEL-containing composition obtained by culturing the microorganism of claim 3 , wherein the composition further comprises monoacylated MEL-B and an aqueous solvent.
