Abstract excerpt
L-threonine production was investigated in a minimal salt medium using L-threonine-overproducing Escherichia coli MT201, derived from E. coli K-12. It was observed that dry cell weight reached 12.5 g/l with 15.9 g/lL-threonine. To increase dry cell weight and L-threonine production, the fermentation process was optimized. When biotin was added as growth factor, L-threonine production reached 52.0 g/l from 15.9...
