  • Publication number: 20110053252
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a microorganism strain capable of producing the L-methionine precursor O-acetyl homoserine in high yield and a method of producing O-acetyl homoserine using the same. The microorganism strain is a strain of Escherichia sp. in which an acetyl-CoA synthase gene (acs) and/or a pantothenate kinase gene (coA) encoding a pantothenate kinase gene refractory to feedback inhibition by CoA is introduced and expressed.

  • Publication number: 20100184164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing L-methionine and organic acid comprising the following steps: Step 1) preparing a strain producing L-methionine precursor and producing L-methionine precursor by the fermentation of the strain; Step 2) producing L-methionine and organic acid by the enzyme reaction process with the L-methionine precursor as a substrate, and microorganism strains used in each step.

  • Publication number: 20100062498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide capable of increasing the production of L-methionine in a microorganism. In particular, the present invention relates to an YgaZ and YgaH polypeptide or a complex thereof, referred to herein as YgaZH polypeptide, which are novel putative L-methionine exporters, polynucleotides encoding the same, a recombinant vector comprising the polynucleotide, a microorganism transformed with the recombinant vector, and a method for producing L-methionine and/or S-adenosyl-methionine, comprising the steps of culturing the transformed microorganism to produce L-methionine and/or S-adenosyl-methionine, and isolating L-methionine and/or S-adenosyl-methionine.

  • Publication number: 20090325243
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amino acid-producing microorganism capable of simultaneously utilizing glycerol as a carbon source, a method for preparing the microorganism, and a method for producing amino acids using the microorganism. According to the present invention, amino acids can be efficiently produced using a byproduct of biodiesel production, glycerol, thereby substituting a cheaper material for the conventional fermentation materials such as glucose.
