A method for producing an L-amino acid includes culturing a bacterium which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and has an L-amino acid-producing ability in a medium containing a carbon source selected from a fatty acid and an alcohol, and collecting the L-amino acid from the medium. A bacterium which has been subjected to a modification including at least one of enhancement of oxyS gene expression, enhancement of fixABC gene expression, and combination thereof, is used as the bacterium, or a substance that reduces intracellular hydrogen peroxide concentration of the bacterium is added to the medium.

1. A method for producing an L-amino acid, the method comprising: A) culturing a bacterium which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and has an L-amino acid-producing ability, in a medium containing a carbon source selected from the group consisting of a fatty acid and an alcohol;B) reducing intracellular hydrogen peroxide concentration of the bacterium; andC) collecting the L-amino acid from the medium, wherein said reducing is accomplished by modifying the bacterium by increasing the copy number of a fixABC gene, and/or replacing a promoter of a fixABC gene with a stronger promoter. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the bacterium belongs to the genus Escherichia, Pantoea, or Enterobacter. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the bacterium is Escherichia coli, Pantoea ananatis, or Enterobacter aerogenes. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein fixABC encodes proteins comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 11, 13, and 15, or conservative variants of these sequences, wherein said conservative variants have the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 11, 13, and 15 but include 1 to 5 amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions, and wherein the conservative variants have a function for reducing intracellular hydrogen peroxide concentration of the bacterium. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carbon source is a fatty acid. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the fatty acid is oleic acid. 7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the fatty acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from a fat or oil. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carbon source is an alcohol. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the alcohol is glycerol. 10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the alcohol is ethanol. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carbon source is a mixture of a fatty acid and glycerol obtained by hydrolyzing a fat or oil. 12. The method according to claim 10, wherein the bacterium is Escherichia coli which has been modified to be able to aerobically utilize ethanol. 13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the L-amino acid is L-lysine. 14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising: A) enhancing an activity of at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of dihydrodipicolinate reductase, diaminopimelate decarboxylase, diaminopimelate dehydrogenase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase, diaminopimelate epimerase, aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, tetrahydrodipicolinate succinylase, and succinyldiaminopimelate deacylase, wherein the activity of the enzyme is enhanced by increasing the copy number of a gene coding the enzyme, and/or replacing a promoter of a gene coding the enzyme with a stronger promoter; orB) disrupting lysine decarboxylase; orC) both.
