  • Method to produce L-methionine by a fermentative production
    Publication number: 20180355390
    Abstract: A method can produce L-methionine and/or a derivative of L-methionine. The method includes: culturing a microorganism for the fermentative production of L-methionine and/or a L-methionine derivative in a culture medium comprising a carbon source, a sulphur source and nitrogen source to produce L-methionine and/or a L-methionine derivative; recovering the L-methionine or L-methionine derivative obtained from the culturing; adding an alcohol solvent or acetonitrile to the L-methionine and/or the L-methionine derivative thereof containing fraction obtained from the recovering to precipitate the L-methionine and/or L-methionine derivative; and recovering L-methionine and/or L-methionine derivative.
