Advances in Synthetic Biology Techniques and Industrial Applications of Corynebacterium glutamicum
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive bacterium (non-spore-forming) that has been wildly used for amino acid production. Due to its stable protein secretion, low extracellular hydrolase activity, and non-toxicity, the application field of C ...

Metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for producing branched chain amino acids
Background Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries. Traditional chemical synthetic and enzymatic BCAAs production in vitro has been hampered by expensive raw materials, harsh reaction ...

Transport kinetics of ectoine, an osmolyte produced by Brevibacterium epidermis [PDF]
Brevibacterium epidermis DSM 20659 is a halotolerant Gram-positive bacterium which can synthesize the osmolyte, ectoine, but prefers to take it up from its environment. The present study revealed that B.

In silico identification of essential proteins in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis based on protein-protein interaction networks [PDF]
Background Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (Cp) is a gram-positive bacterium that is classified into equi and ovis serovars. The serovar ovis is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis, a chronic infection affecting sheep and goats, causing ...

Characterization of OxyR as a negative transcriptional regulator that represses catalase production in Corynebacterium diphtheriae. [PDF]
Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium glutamicum each have one gene (cat) encoding catalase. In-frame Δcat mutants of C. diphtheriae and C. glutamicum were hyper-sensitive to growth inhibition and killing by H(2)O(2). In C.
