Abstract
The present invention relates to a new method for the production of a molecule of interest by conversion of a source of carbon in a fermentative process comprising culturing a microorganism genetically modified for the production of molecule of interest, wherein said microorganism comprises functional genes coding PTS carbohydrate utilization system and wherein the expression of proteins regulated the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate synthase (PPS) is down-regulated. The present invention also relates to the genetically modified microorganism used in the method of the invention.
