Mutation-induced metabolite pool alterations in Corynebacterium glutamicum: towards the identification of nitrogen control signals.

چکیده
The influence of glutamate dehydrogenase activity on nitrogen regulation in Corynebacterium glutamicum was investigated. As shown by RNA hybridization experiments deletion of the gdh gene results in a rearrangement of nitrogen metabolism. Even when sufficiently supplied with nitrogen sources, a gdh deletion strain showed the typical nitrogen starvation response of C. glutamicum. These changes in transcription correlate with distinct alterations of intracellular metabolite pattern. Metabolite analyses of different mutant strains and the wild type indicated that ammonium and 2-oxoglutarate might influence the nitrogen regulation system of C. glutamicum cells.

Fermentative 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...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of the purine biosynthetic pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum results in increased intracellular pool sizes of IMP and hypoxanthine
BACKGROUND Purine nucleotides exhibit various functions in cellular metabolism. Besides serving as building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis, they participate in signaling pathways and energy metabolism. Further, IMP and GMP represent industrially relevant biotechnological products used as flavor enhancing additives in food industry. Therefore, this work aimed towards the accumulation of IMP a...
متن کاملBiosensor-driven adaptive laboratory evolution of l-valine production in Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Adaptive laboratory evolution has proven a valuable strategy for metabolic engineering. Here, we established an experimental evolution approach for improving microbial metabolite production by imposing an artificial selective pressure on the fluorescent output of a biosensor using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Cells showing the highest fluorescent output were iteratively isolated and (re...
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 کاملDifferent modes of diaminopimelate synthesis and their role in cell wall integrity: a study with Corynebacterium glutamicum.
In eubacteria, there are three slightly different pathways for the synthesis of m-diaminopimelate (m-DAP), which is one of the key linking units of peptidoglycan. Surprisingly, for unknown reasons, some bacteria use two of these pathways together. An example is Corynebacterium glutamicum, which uses both the succinylase and dehydrogenase pathways for m-DAP synthesis. In this study, we clone dap...
