    Abstract: An expression unit (A) that contains several promoters is new. A new expression unit (A) comprises several promoters and includes, in the 5' to 3' direction the sequence module (I). 5'-P 1-(A x-P x) n-A y-P y-3' (I) n = integer 0-10; A x and A y = same or different chemical bonds or nucleic acid linker sequences; P 1, P x and P y = same or different promoter sequences, containing at least one RNA-polymerase binding region, and at least P y also includes a ribosome-binding, 3'-terminal segment. Independent claims are also included for: (1) an expression cassette (EC) that contains, in the 5' to 3' direction, the sequence module (II); (2) vector that contains at least one EC; (3) a genetically modified microorganism (GMO) transfected with the vector of (2) or containing EC; and (4) method for preparing biosynthetic products (X) by culturing GMO. 5'-P 1-(A x-P x) n-A y-P y-G-3' (II) G : at least one nucleic acid coding sequence functionally linked to the 5'-upstream regulatory sequence.

    Abstract: Use of a nucleic acid (I) with promoter activity for transcribing genes, where (I) is (a) a 173 nucleotide sequence (SEQ ID No.:1); (b) a variant of (SEQ ID No.:1) with at least 90% identity and derived by substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotides; (c) a sequence that hybridizes to (SEQ ID No.:1) under stringent conditions; or (d) a functionally equivalent fragment of (a)-(c), is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) use of an expression unit (EU), containing (I) and functionally linked to a sequence (X) that ensures translation of RNA, for expressing genes; (2) (I), other than sequence (SEQ ID No.:1), i.e. (Ia), as new compounds; (3) EU that contain (Ia) linked to (X); (4) altering (or producing) the transcription rate of genes in a microorganism, relative to the wild type; (5) expression cassette (EC) comprising at least one EU of (SEQ ID No.:1), at least one other nucleic acid sequence (to be expressed) and optionally additional gene control elements, where at least the first two are linked and the sequence being expressed is heterologous with respect to EU; (6) expression vector (EV) that contains EC; (7) genetically modified microorganisms (GMO) having, for at least one gene, an altered (or induced) transcription rate, relative to the wild type; (8) preparing biosynthetic products by culturing GMO of (7); (9) use of the sequence gaaagga (SEQ ID No.:44) as a ribosome-binding site in expression units that provide expression of genes in Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium; (10) use of the sequences tgcaat (SEQ ID No.:42) and tatcatt (SEQ ID No.:43) as -10 regionS for expression of genes in Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium; and (11) expression units that contain sequences (SEQ ID No.:42) - (SEQ ID No.:44).

    Abstract: Use, for transcribing genes, of a nucleic acid (I) with promoter activity, where (I) is a 186 base pair sequence (1), reproduced; a variant of (1) with at least 90% identity and derived by substitution, insertion or deletion of nucleotides; a sequence that hybridizes to (1) under stringent conditions; or a functionally equivalent fragment of them, is new. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) use of an expression unit (EU), containing (I) and functionally linked to a sequence (X) that ensures translation of RNA, for expressing genes; (2) (I), other than sequence (1), i.e. (Ia), as new compounds; (3) EU that contain (Ia) linked to (X); (4) altering (or producing) the transcription rate of genes in a microorganism, relative to the wild type; (5) expression cassette (EC) comprising at least one EU of (1), at least one other nucleic acid sequence (to be expressed) and optionally additional gene control elements, where at least the first two are linked and the sequence being expressed is heterologous with respect to EU; (6) expression vector (EV) that contains EC; (7) genetically modified microorganisms (GMO) having, for at least one gene, an altered (or induced) transcription rate, relative to the wild type; (8) preparing biosynthetic products by culturing GMO of (7); (9) use of the sequence aggagga (42) as a ribosome-binding site in expression units that provide expression of genes in Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium; (10) use of the sequences tagttt (39), taggat (40) or tgcgct (41) as -10 regions for expression of genes in Corynebacterium or Brevibacterium; and (11) expression units that contain sequences (39)-(42).

    Abstract: The present invention features methods of increasing the production of a fine chemical, e.g., lysine from a microorganism, e.g., Corynebacterium by way of deregulating an enzyme encoding gene, i.e., lactate dehydrogenase. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides methods of increasing the production of lysine in Corynebacterium glutamicum by way of the expression of lactate dehydrogenase activity. The invention also provides a novel process for the production of lysine by way of regulating carbon flux towards oxaloacetate (OAA). In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides methods for the production of lysine by way of utilizing fructose or sucrose as a carbon source.
