Methods for modulating thermostability and acid tolerance of microbes
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for modulating thermostability or acid tolerance of a microbe by mutating a nucleic acid molecule encoding a homoserine o-succinyltransferase (MetA) to obtain a nucleic acid molecule encoding a mutant MetA and transforming a microbial cell with the nucleic acid molecule encoding a mutant MetA. The microbe, a bacteria expressing the mutant MetA of the present invention represents a growth rate improved in a vigorous environment such as higher-temperatures and/or lower pH conditions.
