Claims9
A genetically modified microorganism of the genus Corynebacterium having an ability to produce N-acetyl glucosamine, wherein the microorganism is modified to have a glucosamine-6-phosphate acetyltransferase activity by introducing a gene encoding glucosamine-6-phosphate acetyltransferase, and wherein the microorganism is further modified to have a reduced or deleted glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase activity.
