  • Chapter
  • First Online:
History of Modern Biotechnology I

Part of the book series: Advances in Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology ((ABE,volume 69))

Abstract

The microbial biotechnology of amino acids production which was developed and industrialized in Japan have been summarized. The amino acids include l-glutamic acid, l-lysine, l-threonine, l-aspartic acid, l-alanine, l-cysteine, l-dihydroxyphenylalanine, d-p-hydroxyphenyl-glycine, and hydroxy-l-proline.
