L-lysine-producing strains ofwith enhanced lysE gene (lysine export carrier gene), in which strains additional genes chosen from the group comprising the dapA gene (dihydrodipicolinate synthase gene), the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), the dapB gene (dihydrodipicolinate reductase gene) and the pyc gene, but especially the dapA gene and the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), are enhanced and, in particular, over-expressed, and a process for the preparation of L-lysine.

L-lysine-producing corynebacteria and process for the preparation of L-lysine

The present invention provides nucleotide sequences coding for acetohydroxy acid synthetase (AHAS) mutants, the mutated enzymes themselves and a process for the fermentative production of branched-chain amino acids using these enzymes in specific hosts in which genes which code for the modified acetohydroxy acid synthetase (AHAS) are expressed.

Feedback resistant acetohydroxy acid synthethase mutants

The invention relates to L-lysine-producing strains of corynebacteria with enhanced lysE gene (lysine export carrier gene), in which strains additional genes chosen from the group comprising the dapA gene (dihydrodipicolinate synthase gene), the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), the dapB gene (dihydrodipicolinate reductase gene) and the pyc gene, but especially the dapA gene and the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), are enhanced and, in particular, over-expressed, and to a process for the preparation of L-lysine.

L-Lysine-producing corynebacteria and process for the preparation of L-lysine

The invention relates to L-lysine-producing strains of corynebacteria with enhanced pyc gene (pyruvate carboxylase gene), in which strains additional genes, chosen from the group consisting of the dapA gene (dihydrodipicolinate synthase gene), the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), the lysE gene (lysine export carrier gene) and the dapB gene (dihydrodipicolinate reductase gene), but especially the dapA gene, are enhanced and, in particular, over-expressed, and to a process for the preparation of L-lysine.
