Title:
METHOD FOR THE FERMENTATIVE PRODUCTION OF L-VALINE USING A CORYNEBACTERIUM GLUTAMICUM HAVING INCREASED TRANSAMINASE C ACTIVITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006034667
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing L-valine and to a suitable microorganism. The inventive method is characterized by preferably enhancing the transaminase C activity of a coryneform bacterium, especially Corynebacterium glutamicum. The organisms so modified have a yield in L-valine which is 35.8 % higher than that of non-modified organisms.
