Abstract

CDP-choline is known as an intermediate of lecithin biosynthesis, and as an important drug for nervous diseases of the brain, For the bioconversion of CMP and choline to CDP-choline, ATP is required as an energy source. In these studies, the biosynthetic reaction of CDP-choline was coupled with ATP regenerating system by glycolysis. As a microorganism containing the highest conversion activity of CMP and choline to CDP-choline, Candida utilis ATCC 42416 was selected. The optimum reaction condition were 50mM choline chloride, 20mM CMP, 100mM potassium phosphate (pH8.0), 300mM glucose, 50mM MgSO4, 10% dried cells with shaking incubation at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The reaction was thus performed for 10 hours under the above optimum conditions. The concentration of CDP-choline was 16mM(80% in conversion ratio).
