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 a-naphthoquinone, a resistance to antibiotics of the type which inhibit energy metabolism, or a resistance to precursors in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone.
