  • Publication number: 20080261279
    Abstract: A method for producing L-threonine, L-valine, L-proline, L-leucine, L-methionine and L-arginine is provided using Escherichia bacteria wherein the L-amino acid productivity of the bacteria is enhanced by increasing the activity of proteins encoded by the b2682 and b2683 genes, or proteins encoded by the b1242 or b3434 gene.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 14, 2008
    Publication date: October 23, 2008

  • Patent number: 7220572
    Abstract: There is provided a method for producing L-leucine using bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia, which produces L-valine, L-isoleucine and L-homoleucine in an amount of less than 1% of that of L-leucine produced due to inactivation of ilvE gene coding for branched chain amino acid transaminase and produces increased amount of L-leucine due to increasing the activity of the aromatic amino acid transaminase encoded by tyrB gene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2007
    Assignee: Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
    Inventors: Mikhail Markovich Cusyatiner, Elvira Borisovna Voroshilova, Yulia Georgievna Rostova, Lirina Valerievna Ivanovskaya, Maria Grigorievna Lunts, Evgeniy Moiseevich Khourges

  • Patent number: 6403342
    Abstract: A method for producing L-leucine, comprising the steps of: culturing a bacterium which is transformed with a DNA coding for an a-isopropylmalate synthase densensitized in feedback inhibition by L-leucine, in a culture medium to produce and accumulate L-leucine in the medium, and recovering L-leucine from the medium.
