Title:
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF L-AMINO ACIDS USING STRAINS OF THE ENTEROBACTERIACEAE FAMILY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003076629
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of L-amino acids, in particular L-threonine, in which the following steps are carried out: a) fermentation of the microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family which produce the desired L-amino acid and in which at least one or more of the genes selected from the group comprising aldA, aldB, aldH and betB, or nucleotide sequences that code for them, is/are enhanced, in particular over-expressed, b) concentration of the desired L-amino acid in the medium or in the cells of the bacteria, and c) isolation of the desired L-amino acid.
