Abstract
Genes of the threonine operon of Escherichia coli were used for the construction of a Brevibacterium flavum strain excreting threonine. Using the shuttle vector pCEM300 and a newly constructed shuttle vector pEC71 (7.1 kb, Kmr/Nmr), various plasmids carrying E. coli thr genes were prepared. Mutants resistant to the threonine analog 2-amino-3-hydroxyvaleric acid (AHV) were isolated after the ethyl methanesulfonate treatment of B. flavum carrying these recombinant plasmids. A mutant of B. flavum CCM 351 carrying the cloned genes thrA and thrB accumulated 12 g/L of threonine after 48 h of cultivation.Entities:
