Abstract

A method for producing L-tryptophan by fermentation in high yields employing a microorganism of the genus Bacillus, which has been constructed by a gene splicing technique by incorporating a recombinant plasmid DNA containing an inserted DNA containing fragment controlling resistance to tryptophan-antagonists into a recipient strain of the genus Bacillus. The incorporated DNA fragment is a mutant of the genus Bacillus which was obtained from resistant to tryptophan-antagonists.
