Abstract
The mechanisms of L-alanine overproduction by Brevibacterium flavum strain-producers were studied. It was shown that β-Cl-L-alanine is an inhibitor of some key enzymes involved in the synthesis of L-alanine: alanine transaminase and valine-pyruvate transaminase. Two highly active B. flavum GL1 and GL18 strain-producers, which are resistant to the inhibitory effect of β-Cl-L-alanine, were obtained using a parental B. flavum AA5 strain-producer, characterized by a reduced activity of alanine racemase (≥98%). It was demonstrated that the increased L-alanine synthesis efficiency observed in the strain-producer developed in this work is associated with the absence of inhibition of alanine transaminase by the end product of the biosynthesis reaction, as well as with the effect of derepression of both alanine transaminase and valine-pyruvate transaminase synthesis by the studied compound.
