Patent Issued for Method for enzymatic sulfurylation of alcohols and amines using bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae (USPTO 12104193).

Ajinomoto Co. Inc. has been granted a patent for a method involving the enzymatic sulfurylation of alcohols and amines using a bacterium from the family Enterobacteriaceae. This method allows for the production of sulfated derivatives of substrates without the use of animal sources, potentially reducing costs and simplifying the process. By modifying the bacterium to produce proteins with sulfotransferase activity, the method can yield O- and N-sulfated derivatives of substrates at a lower price. [Extracted from the article]
