Method for producing an amino acid using a bacterium overexpressing an rhtC gene

The present invention describes a bacterium which has an ability to produce an amino acid and in which the rhtC gene encoding a protein having an enhanced activity of imparting L-threonine resistance to a bacterium expressing the protein. Preferably, the bacterium further includes an rhtB gene encod...

More Information
Summary:The present invention describes a bacterium which has an ability to produce an amino acid and in which the rhtC gene encoding a protein having an enhanced activity of imparting L-threonine resistance to a bacterium expressing the protein. Preferably, the bacterium further includes an rhtB gene encoding for a protein having an enhanced activity of imparting to a bacterium L-homoserine resistance expressing the protein. The present invention also describes a method of cultivating the bacterium in a culture medium to produce and accumulate amino acids in the medium, and the amino acid is recovered from the medium.
