Abstract

The invention relates to novel microorganisms, their use and method of producing L-.alpha.-amino acids. In particular, microorganisms DSM 7329 and 7330 are suitable for the production of L-.alpha.-amino acids from corresponding hydantoins or carbamoyl-.alpha.-amino acids. These novel microorganisms are simple to cultivate and make possible high L-.alpha.-amino acid yields from different substrates.
