Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that is used industrially for large-scale production of amino acids, [3] [4] especially glutamic acid and lysine. [5] While originally identified in a screen for organisms secreting L-glutamate, mutants of C. glutamicum have also been identified that produce various other amino acids and derivatives of amino acids. [6]
Due to its industrial importance, several clones of C. glutamicum have been sequenced by both industry and academic groups. [5] Furthermore, small RNA data was obtained by RNA-Seq in C. glutamicum ATCC 13032. [7] The metabolism of this strain has been reconstructed and is available in the form of a genome-scale metabolic model. [8]
