  • Patent number: 10590446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing highly-concentrated L-amino acid and riboflavin simultaneously, and a microorganism for simultaneously producing L-amino acid and riboflavin. Specifically, the present invention relates to a modified microorganism for producing L-lysine or L-threonine, and riboflavin simultaneously, wherein the microorganism belonging to Corynebacterium sp. capable of producing L-lysine or L-threonine is modified by enhancing the activity of an enzyme family expressed by a rib operon which contains riboflavin biosynthesis gene family. Also, the present invention relates to a method for the simultaneous production of L-lysine or L-threonine, and riboflavin using the modified microorganism, and relates to a formulation or granular formulation, feed, and feed additive, containing L-lysine or L-threonine, and riboflavin produced from a culture medium of the modified microorganism.

  • Patent number: 9267161
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Corynebacterium sp. that is transformed with an Escherichia sp.-derived fructokinase gene to express fructokinase showing a sufficient activity of converting fructose into fructose-6-phosphate, thereby preventing unnecessary energy consumption, and a method for producing L-amino acids using the strain. The transformed Corynebacterium sp. of the present invention is able to express fructokinase from the Escherichia-derived fructokinase gene to prevent unnecessary energy consumption during fructose metabolism, leading to more cost-effective production of L-amino acids. Therefore, it can be widely used for the effective production of L-amino acids.

  • Patent number: 9109242
    Abstract: A variant of Corynebacterium shows activity greater than the endogenous activity of aspartate aminotransferase, aspartate kinase, aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, dihydrodipicolinate synthase, dihydropicolinate reductase and diaminopimelate dicarboxylase and additionally pyruvate carboxylase. The variant is used in a method of producing L-lysine.
