Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum strain ATCC 21831 is a producer of L-arginine that was created by random mutagenesis. It is resistant to the arginine structural analogue canavanine. In order to identify potential bottlenecks in the biosynthetic pathway that leads to this industrially important amino acid, relative metabolite abundances of biosynthetic intermediates were determined in comparison to the type strain ATCC 13032. An extract of U13C-labeled biomass was used as internal standard, to correct for different ionization efficiencies. Metabolites were identified using the ALLocator web platform.
Project description:Differential gene expression analysis of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 in presence of 2.5 mM indole compared to control conditions without indole. C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 cells were cultivated in CGXII minimal medium with 40 g per litre glucose in presence of 2.5 mM indole and harvested during exponential phase (o.d.600 4).
