Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism useful for the production of L-methionine and process for the preparation of L-methionine. The microorganism of the invention is modified in a way that the L-methionine production is improved by using a thiocarboxylated protein as sulfur donor and by expressing an enzyme having homoserine O-acetyltransferase activity without feedback inhibition by methionine and/or S-adenosylmethionine and an enzyme having O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase activity.
