    Abstract: Comprende métodos para aumentar la produccion de un compuesto químico fino, por ejemplo, lisina a partir de un microorganismo, por ejemplo, Corynebacterium mediante la desregulacion de un gen codificador de una enzima, es decir, lactato deshidrogenasa. Se proveen métodos para incrementar la produccion de lisina en Corynebacterium glutamicum a través del incremento de la expresion de la actividad de lactato deshidrogenasa. También se provee un proceso para la produccion de lisina a través de la regulacion del flujo de carbono hacia oxalacetato (OAA).Se proveen métodos para la produccion de lisina a través de la utilizacion de fructosa o sacarosa como fuente de carbono. Reivindicacion 1: Un método para aumentar el flujo metabolico a través de la vía de pentosafosfatos en un microorganismo que comprenda el cultivo de dicho microorganismo que contenga un gen que se desregula bajo condiciones tales que se aumenta el flujo metabolico a través de la vía de pentosafosfatos. Reivindicacion 49: Un microorganismo recombinante que comprende un gen de biosíntesis de pentosafosfato desregulado

    Abstract: The present invention features improved processes and organisms for the production of methionine. The invention demonstrates that a &Dgr;metF organism or a &Dgr;metE AmetH organism, for example, mutants of C. glutamicum or E. coli, can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), as a source of both sulfur and a methyl group, bypassing the need for MetH/MetE and MetF activity and the need to reduce sulfate, for the synthesis of methionine. Also described in this patent are data implicating MetY (also called MetZ) as an enzyme that incorporates a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, into methionine. A &Dgr;metF &Dgr;metB strain of C. glutamicum can use a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS, as a source of both sulfide and a methyl group. Furthermore, methionine production by engineered prototrophic organisms that overproduce O-acetyl-homoserine was improved by the addition of a methyl capped sulfide source, e.g., DMDS.
