Nucleotide sequences coding for the genes sucC and sucD
The invention relates to polynucleotides that contain polynucleotide sequences
coding for the genes sucC and sucD, selected from the group
a) polynucleotide that is at least 70% identical to a polynucleotide
coding for a polypeptide that contains the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2,
b) polynucleotide that is at least 70% identical to a polynucleotide
coding for a polypeptide that contains the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 3,
c) polynucleotide coding for a polypeptide that contains an amino acid
sequence that is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 2,
d) polynucleotide coding for a polypeptide that contains an amino acid
sequence that is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No. 3,
e) polynucleotide that is complementary to the polynucleotides of a),
b), c) or d), and
f) polynucleotide containing at least 15 successive nucleotides of the
polynucleotide sequence of a), b), c), d) or e),
a process for the fermentative production of L-amino acids using coryneform bacteria
in which the genes are present in attenuated form, and the use of the polynucleotide
sequences as hybridization probes.
