Abstract: Metabolites produced by a microorganism using oxaloacetate, pyruvate and/or acetyl-CoA as substrate or co-substrate upstream in the biosynthesis pathway, and more particularly using oxaloacetate. There is indeed a need in the art for transformed, in particular recombinant, microorganisms having at least an increased ability to produce oxaloacetate, pyruvate and/or acetyl-CoA, and in particular oxaloacetate, thus allowing an increased capacity to produce metabolites produced using oxaloacetate, pyruvate and/or acetyl-CoA as substrate or co-substrate upstream in the biosynthesis pathway, and in particular amino acids and their derivatives thereof, fatty acids, derivatives from the mevalonate pathway (in particular farnesyl, squalene, lanosterol, cholesterol and derivatives, and dolichols), flavonoides and/or polyketides. The solution proposed is the use of a genetically modified yeast comprising many modifications as described in the present text.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing L-methionine in which O-phospho-L-homoserine and methanethiol are enzymatically converted into L-methionine and H3PO4. Such a conversion is achieved by an enzyme called O-phospho-L-homoserine (OHPS) dependent methionine synthase. Also described are O-phospho-L-homoserine (OHPS) dependent methionine synthases, i.e. proteins which are able to enzymatically convert O-phospho-L-homoserine and methanethiol into L-methionine and H3PO4 as well as microorganisms which have been genetically modified so as to be able to produce L-methionine from O-phospho-L-homoserine and methanethiol. Furthermore described are methods to screen for enzymes that catalyze the conversion of O-phospho-L-homoserine and methanethiol into L-methionine and H3PO4.
