Definitions

• the invention relates to a new method for changing the genome of gram-positive bacteria, these bacteria and new vectors.
• the invention relates to a method for modifying Corynebacteria or Brevibacteria
• Corynebacterium glutamicum is a gram-positive, aerobic bacterium that (like other Corynebacteria, ie Corynebacterium and Brevibacterium species) is used in industry for the production of a number of fine chemicals and also for the degradation of hydrocarbons and the oxidation of terpenoids ( For an overview, see, for example, Liebl (1992) "The Genus Corynebacterium", in: The Procaryotes, Volume II, Balows, A. et al., Eds. Springer).
• DNA sequences can be introduced into the genome (newly introduced and / or existing sequences can be introduced in further copies), DNA sequence sections can also be removed from the genome (eg genes or parts of genes), but sequence exchanges can also be carried out (eg base exchanges) are carried out in the genome.
• sequence exchanges can also be carried out (eg base exchanges) are carried out in the genome.
• the change in the genome can be achieved by introducing DNA into the cell, which preferably does not replicate in the cell, and by recombining this introduced DNA with host genomic DNA and thus changing the genomic DNA. This procedure is described for example in van der Rest, ME et al. (1999) Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 52, 541-545 and references therein.
• transformation marker used such as an antibiotic resistance gene
• This marker can then be used again in further transformation experiments.
• One way to do this is to use a conditionally negative dominant marker gene.
• a conditionally negative dominant marker gene is a gene that is disadvantageous (e.g. toxic) for the host under certain conditions, but has no negative effects on the host carrying the gene under other conditions.
• One example known from the literature is the URA3 gene from yeasts or fungi, an essential gene of pyrimidine biosynthesis, but which is disadvantageous for the host if the chemical 5-fluoro-0rotic acid is present in the medium (see for example DE19801120, Rothstein, R. (1991 ) Methods in Enzymology 194, 281-301).
• conditionally negatively dominant marker gene for removing DNA sequences (for example the transformation markers used and / or vector sequences and other sequence segments), also called “pop-out”, is described, for example, in Schwarzstein, R. (1991) Methods in Enzymology 194, 281-301.
• Galactose kinases (E.C.2.7.1.6, also called galactokinases) catalyze the phosphorilization of galactose to galactose phosphate.
• Numerous galactose kinases from different organisms are known, for example the galK gene from Escherichia coli (described in Debouck et al. (1985) Nucleic Acids Res. 13, 1841-1853), the galK gene from Bacillus subtilis (Glaser et al (1993) Mol. Microbiol. 10, 371-384) or the GALI gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Citron & Donelson (1984) J. Bacteriol. 158, 269-278) each for a galactose kinase.
• genes for galactose kinases are good for use as conditionally dominant negative marker genes in gram-positive bacteria before Coryne bacteria are suitable.
• Genes for galactose kinases in Corynebacteria cause sensitivity to galactose in the nutrient medium (typically in a concentration range of 0.1 to 4% galactose in the medium).
• the invention relates to a plasmid vector which does not replicate in a target organism and contains the following components:

• the promoter d) is preferably heterologous to the galactose kinase gene used.
• Particularly suitable promoters are those from E. coli or C. gluta icum.
• the tac promoter is a particularly preferred promoter.
• the host organism in which the origin of replication a) is functionally active essentially serves to construct and multiply the plasmid vector according to the invention.
• All common microorganisms that can be genetically manipulated can be used as the host organism.
• Preferred host organisms are gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli or yeasts, for example Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
• the host organism must be genetically different from the target organism, since replication of the plasmid vector should not take place in the target organism, while this is desired in the host organism through the use of the origin of replication a).
• Those sequences which are involved in increasing the production of fine chemicals are preferably exchanged in the target organism. Examples of such genes are given in WO 01/0842, 843 & 844, WO 01/0804 & 805, WO 01/2583.
• nucleic acid molecules for example complete genes
• disruptions for example deletions or integrative disruptions
• sequence changes for example single or multiple point mutations, complete gene exchangers.
• Preferred disruptions are those which lead to a reduction of by-products of the desired fermentation product
• preferred integrations are those which increase a desired metabolism to a fermentation product and / or reduce or eliminate "bottlenecks" (de-bottlenecking).
• Appropriate etabolic adjustments are preferred for sequence changes.
• the fermentation product is preferably a fine chemical.
• the transfer of DNA into the target organism can be carried out by methods customary to the person skilled in the art, preferably by conjugation or electroporation.
• DNA that is to be transferred to the target organism by conjugation contains special sequence sections (hereinafter referred to as mob sequences) that make this possible.
• mob sequences and their use for conjugation are described, for example, in Schaefer, A. et al. (1991) J. Bacteriol. 172, 1663-1666.
• a genetic marker is a selectable property that is mediated by a gene. These are preferably genes, the expression of which brings about resistance to antibiotics, in particular resistance to canycin, chloramphenicol, tetrahydroclinic or anti-picillin.

• Clones by culturing in a galactose-containing medium for the presence of galactose sensitivity Clones by culturing in a galactose-containing medium for the presence of galactose sensitivity.
• the invention further relates to the mutagenized gram-positive bacteria (mutants) produced using this method, in particular the mutagenized Corynebacteria.

• amino acid is known in the art.
• the proteinogenic amino acids of which there are 20 types, serve as structural units for proteins in which they are linked to one another via peptide bonds, whereas the non-proteinogenic amino acids (of which hundreds are known) are usually not found in proteins (see Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Vol. A2, pp. 57-97 VCH: Weinheim (1985)).
• the amino acids can be in the D or L configuration, though
• L-amino acids are usually the only type found in naturally occurring proteins. Biosynthetic and degradation pathways of each of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids are well characterized in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (see, for example, Stryer, L. Biochemistry, 3rd edition, pp. 578-590 (1988)).
• the "essential" amino acids histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine
• amino acids so designated because they have to be included in the diet due to the complexity of their biosynthesis, are identified by simple
• Biosynthetic pathways converted into the remaining 11 "non-essential" amino acids (alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartate, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tyrosine). Higher animals have the ability to synthesize some of these amino acids, but the essential amino acids must be ingested with food for normal protein synthesis to take place.
• Lysine is not only an important amino acid for human nutrition, but also for monogastric animals such as poultry and pigs.
• Glutamate is most commonly used as a flavor additive (monosodium glutamate, MSG) and widely used in the food industry, as well as aspartate, phenylalanine, glycine and cysteine.
• Glycine, L-methionine and tryptophan are all used in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Glutamine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, histidine, arginine, proline, serine and alanine are used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Threonine, tryptophan and D- / L-methionine are widespread feed additives (Leuchtenberger, W. (1996) Amino acids - technical production and use, pp. 466-502 in Rehm et al., (Ed.)

• Phenylalanine and tyrosine are synthesized from the precursors of the glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways, erythrose-4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate in a 9-step biosynthetic pathway that differs only in the last two steps after the synthesis of prephenate. Tryptophan is also produced from these two starting molecules, but its synthesis takes place in an 11-step process. Tyrosine can be catalyzed in a phenylalanine hydroxylase also produce the reaction from phenylalanine. Alanine, valine and leucine are each biosynthetic products from pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis.
• Aspartate is made from oxaloacetate, an intermediate of the citrate cycle. Asparagine, methionine, threonine and lysine are each produced by converting aspartate. Isoleucine is made from threonine. In a complex 9-step process, histidine is formed from 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, an activated sugar.
• Amino acids the amount of which exceeds the protein biosynthesis requirements of the cell, cannot be stored and are instead broken down, so that intermediate products are provided for the main metabolic pathways of the cell (for an overview see Stryer, L., Biochemistry, 3rd ed. Chap. 21 "Amino Acid Degradation and the Urea Cycle”; S 495-516 (1988)).
• the cell is able to convert unwanted amino acids into useful metabolic intermediates, the production of amino acids is expensive in terms of energy, precursor molecules and the enzymes required for their synthesis.
• amino acid biosynthesis is regulated by feedback inhibition, where the presence of a particular amino acid slows or stops its own production (for an overview of the feedback mechanism in amino acid biosynthetic pathways, see Stryer, L ., Biochemistry, 3rd ed., Chapter 24, "Biosynthesis of Amino Acids and Heme", pp. 575-600 (1988)).
• the output of a certain amino acid is therefore restricted by the amount of this amino acid in the cell.
• Vitamins, cofactors and nutraceuticals comprise another group of molecules. Higher animals have lost the ability to synthesize them and must therefore absorb them, although they are easily synthesized by other organisms such as bacteria. These molecules are either biologically active molecules per se or precursors of biologically active substances that serve as electron carriers or intermediates in a number of metabolic pathways. In addition to their nutritional value, these compounds also have a significant industrial value as dyes, antioxidants and catalysts or other processing aids. (For an overview of the structure,
