Potassium transport in corynebacterium glutamicum is facilitated by the putative channel protein CglK, which is essential for pH homeostasis and growth at acidic pH.
We studied the requirement for potassium and for potassium transport activity for the biotechnologically important bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum, which is used for large-scale production of amino acids. Different from many other bacteria, at alkaline or neutral pH, C. glutamicum is able to grow without the addition of potassium, resulting in very low cytoplasmic potassium concentrations....
متن کاملDevelopment of A Novel Gene Expression System for Secretory Production of Heterologous Proteins via the General Secretory (Sec) Pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum
Background: Corynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) is a potential host for the secretory production of the heterologous proteins. However, to this date few secretion-type gene expression systems in C. glutamicum have been developed, which limit applications of C. glutamicum in a secretory production of the heterologous proteins.Objectives: In this stu...
متن کاملCorynebacterium diphtheriae: identification and characterization of a channel-forming protein in the cell wall.
The cell wall fraction of the gram-positive, nontoxic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain C8r(-) Tox- (=ATCC 11913) contained a channel-forming protein, as judged from reconstitution experiments with artificial lipid bilayer experiments. The channel-forming protein was present in detergent-treated cell walls and in extracts of whole cells obtained using organic solvents. The protein had an appar...
متن کاملGenome-wide investigation of aromatic acid transporters in Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Genome-wide data mining indicated that six genes (ncgl1031, ncgl2302, ncgl2325, ncgl2326, ncgl2922 and ncgl2953) encoding putative transport proteins are involved in uptake of various aromatic compounds that are further degraded through the beta-ketoadipate, gentisate and resorcinol pathways in Corynebacterium glutamicum. The gentisate (GenK/NCgl2922) and vanillate (VanK/NCgl2302) transporters ...
متن کاملFermentative Production of Lysine by Corynebacterium glutamicum from Different Carbon Sources
Production of lysine by Corynebacterium glutamicum (PTCC 1532) from different agricultural by-products (molasses and pulpy waste date) was compared to glucose as raw materials. For this purpose, ammonium sulphate was selected as a constant nitrogen source. The effect of different nitrogen sources was also investigated with glucose as a constant carbon source. The production of L-lysine was exam...
