Abstract
A method produces cadaverine more efficiently and at a higher yield than production methods by the conventional fermentation methods. The method includes culturing coryneform bacterium/bacteria having an ability to produce cadaverine and having a resistance to 2,2′-thiobis(ethylamine). Preferably, the coryneform bacterium/bacteria has/have lysine decarboxylase activity and, preferably, the coryneform bacterium/bacteria has/have homoserine auxotrophy and/or a resistance to S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine.
Claims11
A method of producing cadaverine comprising culturing coryneform bacteria having an ability to produce cadaverine and having a resistance to 2,2′-thiobis(ethylamine), wherein the production of cadaverine is increased relative to the amount produced by the parental strain which does not have a resistance to 2,2′-thiobis(ethylamine).
