Accumulation of S-adenosylhomocysteine and S-adenosylmethionine by an ethionine-resistant mutant of bakers' yeast

Methionine production by microorganisms

Microbial production of methionine is reviewed with 73 references. The review describes different methionine-producing organisms, as well as analog-resistant regulatory mutants, their optimum cultural conditions and yields. The pathways of methionine biosynthesis and their regulation are discussed.
