The present invention provides derivatives of ethanologenicK011 constructed for the production of lactic acid. The transformedof the invention are prepared by deleting the genes that encode competing pathways followed by a growth-based selection for mutants with improved performance. These transformedare useful for providing an increased supply of lactic acid for use in food and industrial applications.
