Abstract

L-lysine-producing strains of corynebacteria with enhanced lysE gene (lysine export carrier gene), in which strains additional genes chosen from the group comprising the dapA gene (dihydrodipicolinate synthase gene), the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), the dapB gene (dihydrodipicolinate reductase gene) and the pyc gene, but especially the dapA gene and the lysC gene (aspartate kinase gene), are enhanced and, in particular, over-expressed, and a process for the preparation of L-lysine.

Claims (2)

1. A method of producing L-lysine comprising incubating a Corynebacterium host cell in a medium suitable for lysine production, wherein the host cell contains a vector comprising an isolated nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.

2. A method of producing L-lysine comprising incubating a Corynebacterium host cell in a medium suitable for lysine production, wherein the host cell contains a vector comprising an isolated nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 operatively linked to a Corynebacterium dapB gene.
