Abstract

A bacterium belonging to the genus Serratia, which is transformed by introducing into its cells, a DNA coding for a dihydrodipicolinate synthase originating from a bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia or Serratia having mutation to desensitize feedback inhibition by L-lysine and a DNA coding for an aspartokinase originating from a bacterium belonging to the genus Escherichia or Serratia having mutation to desensitize feedback inhibition by L-lysine is cultivated in an appropriate medium, L-lysine is produced and accumulated in a culture thereof, and L-lysine is collected from the culture.
