Abstract

The present invention provides an isolated polynucleotide containing a polynucleotide sequence selected from the groupa) polynucleotide which is at least 70% identical to a polynucleotide which codes for a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID no. 2,b) polynucleotide which codes for a polypeptide which contains an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID no. 2,c) polynucleotide which is complementary to the polynucleotides of a) or b), andd) polynucleotide containing at least 15 successive nucleotides of the polynucleotide sequence of a), b) or c),and a process for the fermentative production of L-amino acids with enhancement of the glbO gene which codes for the haemoglobin-like protein and the use of the above polynucleotides as a primer or hybridization probe.
