The present invention relates to a recombinant nucleic acid molecule, a recombinant microorganism, to a method for producing alanine and to the use of the recombinant nucleic acid molecule or the recombinant microorganism for the fermentative production of alanine.

Recombinant microorganism for improved production of fine chemicals

The present invention relates to a process for producing an organic acid by fermentation, comprising the process steps: I) cultivating microorganisms in a culture medium to which are fed, as assimilable carbon sources, glycerol and a further carbonaceous compound, to allow the microorganisms to produce the organic acid, thereby obtaining a fermentation broth comprising the organic acid; II) recovering the organic acid or the salt thereof from the fermentation broth obtained in process step I); wherein, at least for a certain period of time in process step I), the consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (Cin g per liter per hour) is lower than the maximum theoretical consumption rate of the further carbonaceous compound (CRin g per liter per hour).
