Method for fermentative production of amino acids and amino acid derivatives of the phosphoglycerate family

摘要

A microorganism strain suitable for fermentative production of amino acids of the phosphoglycerate family or derivatives thereof and producible from a starting strain, is based upon a starting strain having an increased activity of a yfiK-gene product or of a gene product of a yfiK homologue. The microorganism strain is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and is a member of the species E. coli. A plasmid has a Yfik-gene with a promoter and a genetic element for the deregulation of cysteine metabolism coding for a serine O-acetyl transferase and being subject tot a reduced feedback inhibition by L-cysteine.
