Summary

A fluoroacetate/fluoropyruvate-sensitive mutant was derived from the parent strainCorynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21513. Accumulation of various amino acids in the fermentation broth using the two strains was compared. The FA/FP-sensitive mutant accumulated about 26.5 g/L L-lysine and 2.2 g/L aspartic acid which was about 3-fold and 10-fold respectively, more than the amount produced by the parent strain.
