Abstract

A method for the fermentative production of L-proline which comprises cultivating a L-proline-producing mutant of a microorganism belonging to the genus Serratia in a broth to produce and accumulate L-proline therein and collecting accumulated L-proline. The mutant is preferably that of Serratia marcescens which is deficient in L-proline oxidase and is resistant to proline analong under a high osmotic pressure.
