A METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN L-AMINO ACID BY FERMENTATION USING A BACTERIUM HAVING AN ENHANCED ABILITY TO UTILIZE GLYCEROL

摘要

The present invention provides a method for producing an L-amino acid using a bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family, particularly a bacterium belonging to genus Escherichia or Pantoea, which has been modified to have glycerol kinase in which feedback inhibition by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is desensitized, thereby having enhanced ability to utilize glycerol.
