Method of producing L-serine by fermentation

摘要

L-serine is produced by cultivating in a medium a coryneform bacterium having L-serine productivity in which an activity of at least one of phosphoserine phosphatase and phosphoserine transaminase is enhanced, preferably, further having introduced therein a gene coding for D-3-phosophoglycerate dehydrogenase in which feedback inhibition by L-serine is desensitizied, allowing L-serine to accumulate in the medium, and collecting the L-serine from the medium.
