A physiologically active substance of aglycon type, in particular, aglycon isoflavone, can be efficiently produced, without resort to any acid/alkali treatment or fermentation and substantially without changing the physical properties of a material, by treating the material with a sufficient amount of diglycosidase for a sufficient period of time at an appropriate temperature and pH so that a physiologically active substance of glycoside type contained in the material can be converted into the physiologically active substance of aglycon type. Moreover, by using diglycosidase and/or a specific enzyme preparation, the aglycon content in a protein or protein-containing food can be increased and the flavor thereof can be improved.

L-Lactic acid fermentation using non-edible biomass requires a lactic acid bacterium suitable for fermentation using a mixture comprising oligosaccharides or mixed saccharides produced by enzymatic treatment of cellulose and hemicellulose, so that simultaneous saccharification and fermentation are enabled. Further, it must be taken into consideration that use of pentoses such as xylose derived form non-edible biomass as the raw material provides lactic acid as well as equimolar acetic acid, which halves the molar yield of lactic acid, and high concentration L-lactic acid induces fermentation inhibition, which makes it difficult to produce L-lactic acid at high yield. The present invention provides a novel lactic acid bacterium that can solve these problems. With the lactic acid bacterium of the present invention, L-lactic acid showing a high optical purity of 99.9% or higher can be efficiently produced by using a mixture of glucose and cellobiose as a raw material without substrate inhibition and substantially without generation of by-products. The method of the present invention is applicable to efficient production of L-lactic acid from a non-edible biomass raw material.

The present invention thus provides a method for producing L-lactic acid, which comprises the step of culturing a lactic acid bacterium that can produce L-lactic acid in a medium containing any one selected from the group consisting of cellobiose, cellooligosaccharides, xylose, arabinose, and glucose derived from cellulose and/or hemicellulose as a substrate to obtain L-lactic acid. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention,
Enterococcus mundtii
NITE BP-965 can be used.
Archaeal lipid adjuvants are synthesized by chemically coupling various carbohydrates or anionic polar groups to the free hydroxyl(s) of archaeal lipid cores. Chemically stable lipid cores such as saturated archaeol and caldarchaeol are obtained from appropriate Archaea. Archaeosome lipid vesicles are formulated from the synthetic lipids selected to serve as antigen carriers that target antigen-presenting cells and promote an appropriate immune response to the antigen.
