Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain having increased L-arginine or L-citrulline productivity and a method of producing L-arginine or L-citrulline using the same. The Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain has enhanced activity of acetylglutamate kinase involved in the L-arginine biosynthesis pathway, and thus is capable of producing L-arginine or L-citrulline in an increased yield compared to a parent strain.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain having increased L-arginine or L-citrulline productivity by having enhanced activity of acetylglutamate kinase, wherein said acetylglutamate kinase of the Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain having increased L-citrulline productivity has a substitution of aspartic acid for histidine at amino acid position 245 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein said acetylglutamate kinase of the Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain having increased L-arginine productivity has a substitution of leucine for glutamic acid at amino acid position 258 or a substitution of aspartic acid for histidine at amino acid position 245 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. 2 . The Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain of claim 1 , which is Corynebacterium glutamicum. 3 . A method for producing L-arginine or L-citrulline comprising steps of: culturing the Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain of claim 1 in a medium; and recovering L-arginine or L-citrulline from the cultured mutant strain or the medium in which the mutant strain has been cultured.
