Abstract
The present invention is related to a recombinant microorganism optimized for the fermentative production of methionine, wherein the activity of the cobalamin-independent methionine synthase MetE is attenuated in said microorganism. The invention is also related to a method for producing methionine by fermentation.
Claims11
A recombinant microorganism optimised for the fermentative production of methionine, wherein the activity of the cobalamin-independent methionine synthase MetE is suppressed and the metH gene is overexpressed in said microorganism compared to a non-modified microorganism.
