Process for preparing O-acetyl-L serine by fermentation

摘要

A process is provided for the fermentative preparation of O-acetyl-L-serine. A microorganism strain, which is derived from a wild type and which exhibits an increased endogenous formation of O-acetyl-L-serine and an increased efflux of O-acetyl-L-serine as compared with the wild type, is cultured in a fermentation medium. A pH in the range from 5.1 to 6.5 is set in the fermentation medium.
