Abstract
The present invention is related to a recombinant microorganism for improved methionine production comprising modifications to produce methionine from glucose as main carbon source by fermentation, and modifications to improve glucose import, wherein the glucose import is improved by modifying the expression of at least one gene selected from ptsG, sgrT sgrS and dgsA.The invention is also related to a method for the fermentative production of methionine or methionine derivatives comprising the steps of:
