  • Publication number: 20060014259
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of L-amino acids. The process involves fermenting an L-amino acid producing coryneform bacteria in a culture medium, concentrating L-amino acid in the culture medium or in the cells of the bacteria, and isolating the L-amino acid produced. The bacteria has an amplified gene encoding the Zwischenferment protein.
