L-glutamic acid-producing mutant microorganism of genus Corynebacterium, and method for producing l-glutamic acid using same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Corynebacterium sp. mutant microorganism producing L-glutamic acid and a method of producing L-glutamic acid using the same, and more specifically, to a novel NADP-dependent malic enzyme variant involved in the L-glutamic acid biosynthetic pathway, a polynucleotide, and a transformant, as well as a method of producing L-glutamic acid using the same. The NADP-dependent malic enzyme variant according to the present invention is obtained by substituting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence constituting NADP-dependent malic enzyme to change the enzymatic activity of the NADP-dependent malic enzyme, and a recombinant microorganism comprising the NADP-dependent malic enzyme variant is capable of efficiently producing L-glutamic acid.
