Abstract
A recombinant DNA autonomously replicable in cells of coryneform bacteria, comprising a DNA sequence coding for an aspartokinase in which feedback inhibition by L-lysine and L-threonine is substantially desensitized, and a DNA sequence coding for a diaminopimelate decarboxylase; a coryneform bacterium harboring an aspartokinase in which feedback inhibition by L-lysine and L-threonine is substantially desensitized, and comprising an enhanced DNA sequence coding for a diaminopimelate decarboxylase; and a method for producing L-lysine comprising the steps of cultivating the coryneform bacterium in an appropriate medium to allow L-lysine to be produced and accumulated in a culture of the bacterium, and collecting L-lysine from the culture.
