Metabolic engineering to overproduce amino acids using corynebacterium glutamicum
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria which is used industrially for large-scale production of amino acids. While originally identified in a screen for organisms secreting L-glutamate, mutants of C. glutamicum have also been identified which produce various other amino acids.
