NEW THRE GENE CODING NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES AND METHOD FOR ENZYMATIC L-THREONINE PRODUCTION USING CORINE BACTERIA

摘要

Cloned Corynebacterium glutamicum thrE gene (I) is new Corynebacterium DNA (I) that is replicable in coryneform microorganisms and comprises at least one nucleotide sequence that codes for the thrE gene (sic) is new. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an amino acid sequence that is derived from the nucleic acid sequence of (I) and is selected from two sequences of 489 amino acids given in the specification; (2) coryneform microorganisms transformed with (I); (3) production of L-threonine by culturing coryneform bacteria in which nucleotide sequences encoding the thrE gene (sic) are overexpressed; and (4) a process for producing (I).
