NOVEL LYSINE DECARBOXYLASE GENE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING L-LYSINE

摘要

L-lysine is produced efficiently by cultivating, in a liquid medium, a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia with decreased or disappeared lysine decarboxylase activity relevant to decomposition of L-lysine, for example, a bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia with restrained expression of a novel gene coding for lysine decarboxylase and/or a known gene cadA to allow L-lysine to be produced and accumulated in a culture liquid, and collecting it.
