Patent ID: 8628941

Claim:
A method for producing one or more L-amino acids comprising: A) culturing a Coryneform glutamicum bacterium having the ability to produce an L-amino acid in a medium; and B) collecting the one or more L-amino acids from the medium; wherein said bacterium is modified so that acetyl-CoA hydrolase activity is decreased by disrupting a chromosomal acetyl-CoA hydrolase gene; and wherein the one or more L-amino acids is/are generated via a biosynthetic pathway in which pyruvic acid is an intermediate, and wherein said acetyl-CoA hydrolase is selected from the group consisting of: (A) a protein comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 24; and (B) a protein comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 24, whereby one to five amino acids in said amino acid sequence are substituted, deleted, inserted, or added.
