A process for producing sugar nucleotides with the use of, as enzyme sources, a) an optionally treated culture of a microorganism capable of producing NTP from a nucleotide precursor, and b) an optionally treated culture of a microorganism capable of producing a sugar nucleotide from a sugar and NTP; a process for producing complex carbohydrates with the use of, as enzymes sources, the above-mentioned cultures a) and b), and c) an optionally treated culture of a microorganism, animal cells or insect cells capable of producing a complex carbohydrate from a sugar nucleotide and a complex carbohydrate precursor; a process for producing complex carbohydrates with the use of, as an enzyme source, an optionally treated culture of a microorganism, animal cells or insect cells capable of producing a complex carbohydrate from a sugar nucleotide and a complex carbohydrate precursor; and a process for producing N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate with the use of, as an enzyme source, an optionally treated culture of a microorganism having a potent galactokinase activity. |
