Process for the production of anthranilic acid and methylanthranilate by using saccharomyces cerivisiae mutants

摘要

The subject of the present invention is a process for the production of anthranilic acid and methyl anthranilate using Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants and the use of these mutants in the production of fermented beverages. According to the invention, a mutant of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain which is auxotrophic for tryptophan, blocked at the step catalysed by 5-P-ribosylanthanilate transferase and having an anthranilate synthase which is insensitive to feedback inhibition by tryptophan, is used.
