To provide a new method for efficiently producing theanine,nby which theanine is simply and industrially advantageouslynproduced. n Pseudomonas citronellosis GEA, which is newly separated /selectednfrom natural soil, belongs to the genus, Pseudomonas,nand the species citronellosis and is theanine producing bacterianwith activities of transferring γ-glutamyl group. Theanine isnextremely efficiently produced by using glutaminase derived fromnthe bacteria in a mixture of glutamine and ethylamine at pH 9-12nin comparison with a conventional method. |
