Research Abstract |
We analyzed 7 genes that are upregulated when glutamate overproduction is induced in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Our results suggested that 3 genes-NCgl2944, NCgl2945, and NCgl2946-were responsible for not only coping with the stress that induced the overproduction of glutamate but also growth in a synthetic medium. Further, we found significantly increased activities of 3 enzymes that catalyze reactions directly connected with the central carbon metabolism.
