  • Patent number: 11492616
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for modifying an amino acid attenuator, a class of amino acid attenuator mutants, engineered bacteria created on the basis of the amino acid attenuator mutants, and use of the engineered bacteria. The present invention protects a method for relieving the attenuation regulation of an amino acid operon gene, which is modification of the amino acid operon gene by: removing a gene coding for a leader peptide and an anterior reverse complementary palindromic sequence in the terminator stem-loop structure, and maintaining a posterior reverse complementary palindromic sequence in the terminator. The amino acid operon particularly can be histidine operon, tryptophan operon, phenylalanine operon, alanine operon, threonine operon and etc. The present invention can be used for the production of amino acids and derivatives thereof in fermentation by bacteria, providing a novel method for improving the production of amino acids in fermentation.
