The present invention provides a method for producing a target substance, the biosynthetic pathway of which is ATP-dependent, for example, amino acids, nucleosides, nucleotides, isoprenoids, and peptides, by fermentation of a bacterium which has been modified to overexpress a gene encoding a protein having H.sup.+-translocating membrane-bound pyrophosphatase activity, for example, the hppA gene native to R. rubrum or a variant thereof.

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism imparted with increased ability to produce glutaric acid by further introducing a gene encoding a polypeptide having glutaric acid transporter activity into a microorganism having ability to produce glutaric acid, and to a method of preparing glutaric acid using the recombinant microorganism. According to the present invention, glutaric acid used for the preparation of various compounds such as polyamide, polyurethane, 1,5-pentanediol, and 5-hydroxyvaleric acid can be biosynthesized at high yield.

The present disclosure relates to an acetohydroxy acid synthase variant in which the feedback inhibition to L-valine is released, a polynucleotide encoding the acetohydroxy acid synthase variant, an expression vector including the polynucleotide, a microorganism producing L-valine including the acetohydroxy acid synthase variant, and a method for producing L-valine using the microorganism.

The subject invention relates to a process of preparing (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid or a salt thereof by one-step fermentation with a nonpathogenic microorganism. The fermentation of (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid was performed by supplying with certain carbon and nitrogen sources. These microorganisms include a Glutamic acid Bacterium HR057 strain or one type of genetically engineered Corynebacterium Glutamicum.

The present disclosure relates to a novel polypeptide having an activity of exporting 5-inosine monophosphate, a microorganism comprising the same, a method for preparing 5-inosine monophosphate using the same, and a method for increasing export of 5-inosine monophosphate.

The present disclosure relates to a polypeptide having an acyltransferase activity or a microorganism including the same; a composition for preparing N-acetyl-L-methionine, the composition including the polypeptide or microorganism; and a method of preparing N-acetyl-L-methionine using the polypeptide or microorganism. Further, the present disclosure relates to a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide and an expression vector including the polynucleotide. Since the microorganism including a novel acyltransferase according to the present disclosure has enhanced acyltransferase activity, this microorganism can be efficiently used for producing N-acetyl-L-methionine by acetylating L-methionine.

Provided are: a polypeptide having activity of 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate hydroxymethyltransferase; a microorganism having increased activity of 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate hydroxymethyltransferase; a composition for producing pantothenic acid and/or pantoic acid, comprising the polypeptide and/or the microorganism, and a pantothenic acid and/or pantoic acid production method comprising a step for culturing the microorganism.

The present disclosure relates to a novel polypeptide having an activity of exporting 5-inosine monophosphate, a microorganism comprising the same, a method for preparing 5-inosine monophosphate using the same, and a method for increasing export of 5-inosine monophosphate.

The present disclosure relates to a novel citrate synthase variant, a microorganism comprising the variant, and a method for producing L-amino acids using the microorganism.

The present disclosure relates to a novel citrate synthase variant, a microorganism comprising the variant, and a method for producing O-acetyl-L-homoserine and L-methionine using the microorganism.
