Vanillate Metabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Current Microbiology, 2005
Corynebacterium glutamicum, a Gram-positive soil bacterium belonging to the mycolic acids-containing actinomycetes, is able to use the lignin degradation products ferulate, vanillate, and protocatechuate as sole carbon sources. The gene cluster responsible for vanillate catabolism was identified and characterized.

The respiratory chain of Corynebacterium glutamicum

Journal of Biotechnology, 2003
Corynebacterium glutamicum is an aerobic bacterium that requires oxygen as exogenous electron acceptor for respiration. Recent molecular and biochemical analyses together with information obtained from the genome sequence showed that C. glutamicum possesses a branched electron transport chain to oxygen with some remarkable features.

Ethanol catabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

Journal of molecular microbiology and biotechnology, 2008
Corynebacterium glutamicum grows on a variety of carbohydrates and organic acids as single or combined sources of carbon and energy. Here we show the ability of C. glutamicum to grow on ethanol with growth rates up to 0.24 h(-1) and biomass yields up to 0.47 g dry weight (g ethanol)(-1). Mutants of C. glutamicum deficient in phosphotransacetylase (PTA),

Structure of the Urease Operon of Corynebacterium Glutamicum

DNA Sequence, 2000
Urease activity of Corynebacterium glutamicum results in a rapid pH increase upon addition of urea to the growth medium. The urease operon C. glutamicum was isolated of and sequenced. Seven open reading frames were identified; ureA, ureB, and ureC were homologues of other bacterial urease structural genes, ureE, ureF, ureG, and ureD exhibited homology ...

Ultrastructure of the Corynebacterium glutamicum cell wall

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1997
The cell wall structure of the Gram-positive Corynebacterium glutamicum was evaluated by electron microscopy of thin sections after freeze-substitution and conventional fixation with glutaraldehyde. For the cell wall an overall thickness of approximately 32 nm was determined, with 8.5 nm corresponding to an outer layer, 6.5 nm to an electron ...

Emerging Corynebacterium glutamicum systems biology

Journal of Biotechnology, 2006
Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used for the biotechnological production of amino acids. Amino acid producing strains have been improved classically by mutagenesis and screening as well as in a rational manner using recombinant DNA technology. Metabolic flux analysis may be viewed as the first systems approach to C.

Osmosensing and osmosignaling in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Amino Acids, 2009
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum is used in microbial biotechnology for the large-scale production of amino acids, e.g., L: -glutamate and L: -lysine. We have studied the response of this organism to hyperosmotic challenge at the level of both transcription and protein activity.

Patchoulol Production with Metabolically Engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum [PDF]

Genes, 2018
Patchoulol is a sesquiterpene alcohol and an important natural product for the perfume industry. Corynebacterium glutamicum is the prominent host for the fermentative production of amino acids with an average annual production volume of ~6 million tons. Due to its robustness and well established large-scale fermentation, C.

Glycerol-3-phosphatase of Corynebacterium glutamicum

Journal of Biotechnology, 2012
Formation of glycerol as by-product of amino acid production by Corynebacterium glutamicum has been observed under certain conditions, but the enzyme(s) involved in its synthesis from glycerol-3-phosphate were not known. It was shown here that cg1700 encodes an enzyme active as a glycerol-3-phosphatase (GPP) hydrolyzing glycerol-3-phosphate to ...

Importance of mycoloyltransferases on the physiology of Corynebacterium glutamicum

Microbiology, 2004
Mycoloyltransferases (Myts) play an essential role in the biogenesis of the cell envelope of members of the Corynebacterineae, a group of bacteria that includes the mycobacteria and corynebacteria. While the existence of several functional myt genes has been demonstrated in both mycobacteria and corynebacteria (cmyt), the disruption of any of these ...
