Abstract: A process for the preparation of L-amino acids, in which the following steps are carried out: (a) fermentation of the coryneform bacteria which produce the desired L-amino acid and in which at least the gene which codes for trehalose phosphatase and/or the gene which codes for maltooligosyl-trehalose synthase and/or the gene which codes for maltooligosyl-trehalose trehalohydrolase is or are attenuated, (b) concentration of the desired L-amino acid in the medium or in the cells of the bacteria, and (c) isolation of the L-amino acid, and optionally bacteria in which further genes of the biosynthesis pathway of the desired L-amino acid are addtionally enhanced are employed, or bacteria in which the metabolic pathways which reduce the formation of the desired L-amino acid are at least partly eliminated are employed.

Abstract: The present invention provides nucleotide sequences from Coryneform bacteria which code for the OtsA protein and processes for the fermentative preparation of amino acids using bacteria in which the otrA gene is attenuated.
