Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the production of methionine using modified strains with attenuated transformation of threonine. This can be achieved by reducing threonine transformation into glycine, and/or by reducing its transformation to α-ketobutyrate. The invention also concerns the modified strains with attenuated transformation of threonine.
