Abstract:
The present invention relates to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia having enhanced L-tryptophan productivity, which has been modified to express yeast anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase in order to be able to produce L-tryptophan at high concentration, and to a method for producing L-tryptophan, comprising a step of culturing the microorganism. The microorganism of the genus Escherichia can produce L-tryptophan, and thus can be advantageously used in the pharmaceutical industry and the feed industry, particularly for animal feed.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia producing L-tryptophan and, more specifically, to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia with improved activity of producing L-tryptophan by weakening or inactivating the activity of endogenous 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase.Additionally, the present application relates to a method for producing L-tryptophan using the microorganism of the genus Escherichia.
