The present disclosure relates to a variant polypeptide having attenuated dihydrodipicolinate reductase activity and a method of producing L-threonine using the same.

The invention provides microorganisms genetically modified to overexpress biofilm dispersal related polypeptides to enhance the production of lysine and lysine derivatives by the microorganism, method of generating such microorganism, and methods of producing lysine and lysine derivatives using the genetically modified microorganisms.

Certain C. glutamicum strains overexpress genes coding for enzymes having the function of aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, dihydrodipicolinate synthase, dihydrodipicolinate reductase, diaminopimelate decarboxylase, aspartatokinase and diaminopimelate dehydrogenase. The C. glutamicum strains also express NAD(P)(+) transhydrogenase subunit alpha PntA and NAD(P)(+) transhydrogenase subunit beta PntB of Corynebacterium urealyticum. A method is developed for the fermentative production of L-lysine using such C. glutamicum strains.
