Abstract
A bacterium which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae, and has an ability to produce L-lysine, L-threonine, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-methionine, L-alanine, L-isoleucine, and/or L-homoserine. The bacterium has been modified so that expression of the gltP and/or gltS genes is/are increased when cultured in a medium, resulting in the accumulation of the L-amino acid(s) in the medium or bacterial cells.
