Title:
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF L-LYSINE USING CORYNEFORM BACTERIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004013340
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of L-lysine, in which the following steps are carried out a) fermentation of the L-lysine producing coryneform bacteria that are at least sensitive to diaminopimelic acid analogues, in particular 4-hydroxydiaminopimelic acid; b) enrichment of the L-lysine in the medium or in the bacterial cells; and optionally c) isolation of the L-lysine or L-lysine-containing feedstuffs additive from the fermentation broth, so that >= 0 to 100% of the constituents from the fermentation broth and/or from the biomass are present, and optionally bacteria are used in which in addition further genes of the biosynthesis pathway of L-lysine are enhanced, or bacteria are used in which the metabolic pathways that reduce the formation of L-lysine are at least partially switched off.
