Microbial process for arginine production

摘要

The present invention relates to process for increased yield of the amino acid arginine from bacterial cultures by employing strains that have been genetically manipulated for both increased arginine biosynthesis and increased level of the Escherichia coli protein YggA or a protein that is substantially similar to Escherichia coli YggA. Two strains of this invention have been deposited at MTCC, Chandigarh. The strains are GJ4894/pHYD952 (MTCC 5127) and GJ4536/pHYD953 (MTCC 5128).
