A microbial cell for producing at least one acyl amino acid, wherein the cell is genetically modified to comprise:
- a) a first genetic mutation that enables the cell to produce the acyl amino acid;
- and
- b) a second genetic mutation that results in a decrease in activity relative to a wild type cell of at least one enzyme involved in glutamate breakdown.
