Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing glucosamine.SOLUTION: A biosynthetic method for producing glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine is disclosed. Such a method includes a step of producing glucosamine and/or N-acetylglucosamine by the fermentation of a genetically modified microorganism. Also genetically modified microorganisms that are useful for producing glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine are provided. In addition, methods for recovering N-acetylglucosamine that is produced by a fermentation process, including methods that result in N-acetylglucosamine of high purity, are described. Also a method for producing glucosamine from N-acetylglucosamine is disclosed.
