Genetically modified microorganism strains for the fermentative production of cysteine provide higher yields of L-cysteine or L-cystine during fermentation. Cysteine production is improved in the genetically modified microorganism strains by attenuating or inactivating phosphoenolpyruvate synthase enzyme activity, alone or in combination with the overexpression of efflux proteins and proteins that reduce feedback inhibition by cysteine and by serine.

Metabolites produced by a microorganism using more particularly oxaloacetate as substrate or co-substrate upstream in the biosynthesis pathway. There is indeed a need in the art for transformed, in particular recombinant, microorganisms having at least an increased ability to produce oxaloacetate, thus allowing an increased capacity to produce oxaloacetate-derived amino acids and amino acid derivatives, the oxaloacetate-derived amino acids and amino acid derivatives being termed oxaloacetate derivatives. The solution is the use of a genetically modified yeast including many modifications as described in the present text.

The present disclosure relates to a modified polypeptide with attenuated activity of citrate synthase and a method for producing an aspartate-derived L-amino acid using the modified polypeptide.

A method is described for producing an L-amino acid including the steps of cultivating in a culture medium an L-amino acid-producing bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae to produce and accumulate the L-amino acid in the culture medium, cells of the bacterium, or both, and collecting the L-amino acid from the culture medium, the cells, or both, wherein said bacterium has been modified to overexpress a gene encoding a periplasmic adaptor protein.
