Abstract:l-Threonine producing α-amino-β-hydroxyvaleric acid resistant mutants were derived from E. coli K-12 with 3 x 10-5 frequency. One of mutants, strain β-101, accummulated maximum amount of l-threonine (1. 9 g/liter) in medium. Among isoleucine, methionine and lysine auxotrophs derived from E. coli K-12, only methionine auxotrophs produced l-threonine. In contrast, among isoleucine, methionine and lysine auxotrophs derived from β-101, l-threonine accumulation was generally enhanced in isoleucine auxotrophs. One of isoleucine auxotrophs, strain βI-67, produced maximum amount of l-threonine (4. 7 g/liter). Methionine auxotroph, βM-7, derived from β-101 produced 3.8 g/liter, and βIM-4, methionine auxotroph derived from β1-67, produced 6.1 g/liter, when it was cultured in 3% glucose medium supplemented with 100 μg/ml of l-isoleucine and l-methionine, respectively. These l-threonine productivities of E. coli mutants were discussed with respect to the regulatory mechanisms of threonine biosynthesis. A favourable fermentation medium for l-threonine production by E. coli mutants was established by using strain βM-4.
