Abstract

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex-deficient strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum produce L- valine from glucose only after depletion of the acetate required for growth. Here we show that inactivation of the DeoR-type transcriptional regulator SugR or replacement of acetate by ethanol already in course of the growth phase results in efficient L-valine production.
