Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021259491A1] The invention relates to a microorganism strain which is suitable for the fermentative production of L-cysteine, characterised in that the relative enzyme activity of the enzyme class denoted in the KEGG database by the number EC 2.7.9.2 is inactivated or, based on the specific activity of the wild-type enzyme, is reduced, and the enzyme class denoted in the KEGG database by the number EC 2.Ί.9.2 forms an increased amount of L-cysteine compared with the microorganism strain with wild type enzyme activity, wherein the gene coding this enzyme activity is denoted by ppsA. The invention also provides a method for producing L-cysteine using these microorganism cells.
