Abstract:
There is provided a method for obtaining an L-amino acid or nucleic acid-producing bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia with an optimized level of expression of the gene which influence on the distribution of carbon flow, such as sucAB genes, comprising the steps of introducing into chromosome of the bacterium a set of in vitro constructed DNA fragments containing regulatory element for the gene expression instead of the native element of regulatory region of the gene and selecting the colonies with increased L-amino acid productivity. Also there is provided a method for producing L-amino acid, such as L-glutamic acid, L-proline, L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-leucine, using the bacterium with optimized level of expression of the sucAB gene.
Abstract:
A Mob- plasmid having a RSF1010 replicon, comprising a gene coding for Rep protein and said plasmid has been modified to inactivate gene related to mobilization ability. The present invention also describes a bacterium having an ability to produce useful metabolites, comprising the plasmid and said bacterium lack active thymidylate synthase coded by thyA gene and thymidine kinase coded by tdk gene, and a method for producing useful metabolites, such as native or recombinant proteins, enzymes, L-amino acids, nucleosides and nucleotides, organic acid, vitamins, using the bacterium.

Abstract:
A method for producing L-amino acids, such as L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, and L-tyrosine, using a bacterium of the Enterobacteriaceae family is provided. The L-amino acid productivity of said bacterium is increased by enhancing an activity of 6-phosphogluconolactonase, which is encoded by the pgl gene (ybhE ORF).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a bacterium belonging to the genus Pantoea which has been modified to have decreased activity of α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase; decreased activity of citrate synthase; increased activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase or pyruvate carboxylase; and increased activity of glutamate dehydrogenase or glutamate synthase. This bacterium has the ability to produce L-aspartic acid or L-aspartic acid-derived metabolites, such as L-threonine, L-lysine, L-methionine and L-homoserine.The present invention also provides a method for producing L-aspartic acid or L-aspartic acid-derived metabolites using the bacterium.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a bacterium which has an ability to produce a useful metabolite derived from acetyl-coenzyme A, such as L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine, L-proline, L-arginine, L-leucine, L-cysteine, succinate, and polyhydroxybutyrate, wherein said bacterium is modified so that activities of D-xylulose-5-phosphate phosphoketolase and/or fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase are enhanced. The present invention also provides a method for producing the useful metabolite using the bacterium.
