The invention relates to a fermentation medium for fermenting and producing glutamic acid from a thermo-sensitive type strain. The components and the final concentration of the fermentation medium in the formula are as follows: 165-205g/L corn starch amylolysis, 15-30g/L maize slurry, 10-18g/L molasses, 0.5-1.5g/L glycine betaine, 5-10g/L bean pulp hydrolysate, 3-8g/L H3PO4, 1.25-1.75g/L MgSO4.7H2O, 0.064-0.084g/L MnSO4.7H2O, 0.055-0.085g/L FeSO4.7H2O, 3-6g/L KCl, 0.08-0.15g/L threonine, 0.8-1.2g/L succinic acid, and 0.1-0.3g/L defoamer, and the solvent is water, the pH value of the fermentation medium is 6.8-7.0 when the phosphoric acid is neutralized by alkali. Due to the appropriate carbon source, the nitrogen source, the carbon nitrogen ratio and the phosphorus content in the medium, the acid production rate is increased, the acid production of the thallus is promoted, the final acid production level is obviously improved by about 5.5% and the glutamic acid yield and the glucose acid conversion ratio are increased.
