Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method utilizing a recombinant microorganism for the production of aspartate derived amino acids and precursors thereof, in particular for the production of L-lysine. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having improved aspartate-derived amino acid synthesis activity in comparison to the initial microorganism and the use of such microorganisms in producing said amino acids and precursors and derivatives, in particular in the synthesis of L-lysine.
