PROCESS FOR PRODUCING L-GLUTAMIC ACID BY FERMENTATION AND MUTANT MICROORGANISMS FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

A fermentation process is disclosed for producing L-glutamic acid in high yield using microorganisms belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium having the ability to produce L-glutamic acid and which have or have been endowed with a resistance to one or more antibiotics of the type which inhibit energy metabolism and selected from oligomycin, antimycin A, rutamycin, and valinomycin.
