Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for the production of cysteine or derivates thereof by culturing a microorganism having reduced activity of endogenous phosphoserine phosphatase and the activity of PhnC, PhnD, and PhnE is reduced, and enhanced activity of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and/or phosphoserine aminotransferase. The O-phosphoserine produced by such an organism can then be reacted with a sulfide in the presence of a sulfydrylase or a microorganism expressing a sulfhydrylase to produce cysteine or a derivative thereof. Microorganisms having these reduced and enhanced properties noted above are also provided herein.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to Corynebacterium sp. that is transformed with an Escherichia sp.-derived fructokinase gene to express fructokinase showing a sufficient activity of converting fructose into fructose-6-phosphate, thereby preventing unnecessary energy consumption, and a method for producing L-amino acids using the strain. The transformed Corynebacterium sp. of the present invention is able to express fructokinase from the Escherichia-derived fructokinase gene to prevent unnecessary energy consumption during fructose metabolism, leading to more cost-effective production of L-amino acids. Therefore, it can be widely used for the effective production of L-amino acids.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia sp. and a method for producing L-amino acid using the same. The microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia sp. has a sucrose assimilability and L-amino acid producing ability, which is obtained by introducing a gene encoding a sucrose assimilative microorganism-derived sucrose metabolic enzyme to sucrose non-assimilative microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia sp. having an L-amino acid producing ability and sucrose PTS (phosphoenolpyruvate dependent sucrose phosphotransferase system) activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing fermentation product from various carbon sources containing glycerol using Corynebacteria. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for producing fermentation product from carbon sources containing glycerol or a part of glycerol with high yield and high productivity, by fermenting Corynebacteria introduced with the foreign gene glpDFK facilitating the use of glycerol and accumulating industrially useful amino acids in the culture medium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an amino acid-producing microorganism capable of simultaneously utilizing glycerol as a carbon source, a method for preparing the microorganism, and a method for producing amino acids using the microorganism. According to the present invention, amino acids can be efficiently produced using a byproduct of biodiesel production, glycerol, thereby substituting a cheaper material for the conventional fermentation materials such as glucose.
