Abstract
An eco-friendly method for microbial production of L-amino acid was started in 1957 by Kinoshita
and his co-workers using Micrococcus glutamicus. Since then, several trials have been done to improve Lmethionine
fermentation. Different wild, auxotrophic and regulatory mutants including analog-resistantstrains
were employed. Corynebacterium glutamicum, Brevibacterium sp., Lactobacilli, Bacillus heali were very
common in this practice.
