Microorganism producing L-leucine and method for producing L-leucine using the same
The present disclosure relates to a microorganism producing L-leucine and a method for producing L-leucine using the same, and more specifically, to a Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant which has resistance to L-leucine and a derivative thereof and improved L-leucine producing ability, and a method for producing L-leucine using the same.
1. A Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant that produces L-leucine selected from the group consisting of a mutant deposited under Accession No. KCCM11661P and a mutant deposited under Accession No. KCCM11662P.
2. The Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant of claim 1 , wherein the mutant has resistance to L-leucine and a derivative thereof,
and wherein the derivative is selected from the group consisting of leucine, isoleucine, terleucine, norleucine, and cycloleucine.
3. The Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant of claim 2 , wherein the L-leucine derivative is norleucine (NL).
4. A method for producing L-leucine, comprising:
culturing the Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant of claim 1 ; and
recovering L-leucine from the Corynebacterium glutamicum mutant or the culture.
