A process for the production of L-threonine by fermentation of Escherichia coli FERM BP-3756 or Escherichia coli FERM BP-4072 and a process for the production of L-isoleucine by the fermentation of Escherichia coli FERM BP-3757 is disclosed. The strains are resistant to purine analogues such as 6-dimethylaminopurine or 6-methylaminopurine.

Process for the production of L-threonine and L-isoleucine by

A process for the production of L-isoleucine using the microorganism, Escherichia coli H-8670 (FERM BP-4051) which has resistance to 0.2 g/l S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine or Escherichia coli H-8683 (FERM BP-4052) which has a resistance of 20 g/l of D-serine. The microorganism is cultured in a nutrient medium for a time and under conditions sufficient to produce L-isoleucine and the L-isoleucine is recovered from the medium.

Process for producing L-isoleucine by S-2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine or

Disclosed is a process for producing L-threonine, which comprises culturing an L-threonine-producing microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia and having a resistance to at least one of L-phenylalanine and L-leucine in a medium until L-threonine is produced and accumulated in the culture, and recovering L-threonine therefrom.

Process for producing L-threonine with strains of E coli resistant to

Disclosed is a process for producing L-isoleucine which comprises culturing in a medium a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia and having resistance to an isoleucine analogue and either ethionine or argonine hydroxamate and an ability to produce L-isoleucine until L-isoleucine is accumulated in the culture, and recovering L-isoleucine therefrom.

Process for producing L-isoleucine and ethionine by isoleucine analog

A process for producing L-lysine by fermentation includes the steps of culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium having a resistance to iodothyronine in a nutrient medium to form and accumulate L-lysine in the resulting culture and recovering the L-lysine therefrom.

Process for producing L-lysine by iodothyronine resistant strains of

Disclosed is a process for producing L-tryptophan which comprises culturing in a medium a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium having resistance to an aminoquinoline derivative or a phenothiazine derivative and an ability to produce L-tryptophan until L-tryptophan is accumulated in the culture and recovering L-tryptophan therefrom.
