Zusammenfassung:The present invention is related to a recombinant microorganism optimised for the fermentative production of methionine and/or its derivatives, wherein in said recombinant strain, the methionine efflux is enhanced by overexpressing the homologous genes of ygaZ and ygaH genes from Escherichia coli. It is also related to a method for optimising the fermentative production of methionine or its derivatives comprising the steps of: a. culturing a recombinant microorganism wherein in said microorganism, the methionine efflux is enhanced by overexpressing the ygaZH homologous genes of ygaZ and ygaH genes from Escherichia coli, in an appropriate culture medium comprising a fermentable source of carbon and a source of sulphur, and b. recovering methionine and/or its derivatives from the culture medium.
