Abstract

The present invention relates to polynucleotides corresponding to the plsC gene and which encode 1-acyl-SN-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, methods of producing L-amino acids, and methods of screening for polynucleotides which encode proteins having 1-acyl-SN-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity.
