  • Patent number: 10815510
    Abstract: The present application relates to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia producing L-tryptophan and, more specifically, to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia with improved activity of producing L-tryptophan by weakening or inactivating the activity of endogenous 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase. Additionally, the present application relates to a method for producing L-tryptophan using the microorganism of the genus Escherichia.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020
    Assignee: CJ CHEILJEDANG CORPORATION
    Inventors: Ki Yong Cheong, Kyung Rim Kim, Seok Myung Lee, Kwang Ho Lee, Keun Cheol Lee, Hyeong Pyo Hong
  • Patent number: 10113191
    Abstract: Disclosed are a recombinant microorganism having enhanced L-amino acid productivity, wherein the recombinant microorganism is transformed to have removed or decreased activity of at least one of adenosine deaminase and AMP nucleosidase, and a method of producing an L-amino acid using the recombinant microorganism. The use of the recombinant microorganism may enable the production of the L-amino acid in a highly efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 9562246
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microorganism of the genus Escherichia having enhanced L-tryptophan productivity, which has been modified to express yeast anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase in order to be able to produce L-tryptophan at high concentration, and to a method for producing L-tryptophan, comprising a step of culturing the microorganism. The microorganism of the genus Escherichia can produce L-tryptophan, and thus can be advantageously used in the pharmaceutical industry and the feed industry, particularly for animal feed.
