Abstract:
A method for producing an L-amino acid such as L-glutamic acid is provided. An L-amino acid is produced by culturing a bacterium having an ability to produce an L-amino acid, which has been modified so that the activity of a non-PTS fructose-uptake carrier and the activity of fructokinase are both increased, in a medium containing fructose, and collecting the L-amino acid from the medium or cells of the bacterium.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the frk gene encodes a protein selected from the group consisting of:\n (a) a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31, 33, or 35; (b) a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31, 33, or 35, but which includes substitution, deletion, insertion, and/or addition of 1 to 10 amino acid residues, and wherein said protein comprises fructokinase activity; and (c) a protein comprising an amino acid sequence having an identity of 90% or higher to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 31, 33, or 35, and wherein said protein comprises fructokinase activity.
