GENETICALLY MODIFIED MICROORGANISM FOR IMPROVED PRODUCTION OF FINE CHEMICALS ON SUCROSE

摘要

The present invention relates to a modified microorganism having, compared to its wildtype,—a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsA-gene,—a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsH-gene or—a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsA-gene and a reduced activity of an enzyme encoded by the ptsH-gene, wherein the wildtype from which the modified microorganism has been derived belongs to the family of Pasteurellaceae. The present invention also relates to a method for producing succinic acid and to the use of modified microorganisms.
