Abstract
Abstract An L-lysine producing microorganism which is obtained by incorporation into a host strain of the genus Escherichia of a hybrid plasmid having inserted therein a DNA fragment with genetic information controlling L-lysine production which is derived from a donor strain which is resistant to an L-lysine analogue, is useful for the production of high levels of L-lysine by fermentation.
