Sarcosine sensitivity in Escherichia coli is mediated by activation of the glycine cleavage system.

Corynebacterium glutamicum AJ1511 and Escherichia coli BW25113 strains were compared in terms of resistance to sarcosine (N-methylglycine). The E. coli strain was more sensitive to sarcosine than C.

Comparative Analysis of Catabolic and Anabolic Dehydroshikimate Dehydratases for 3,4-DHBA Production in .

The production of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA or protocatechuate) is a relevant task owing to 3,4-DHBA's pharmaceutical properties and its use as a precursor for subsequent synthesis of high value-added chemicals. The microbial production of 3,4-DHBA using dehydroshikimate dehydratase (DSD) (EC: 4.2.

Characterization of the Corynebacterium glutamicum dehydroshikimate dehydratase QsuB and its potential for microbial production of protocatechuic acid.

The dehydroshikimate dehydratase (DSD) from Corynebacterium glutamicum encoded by the qsuB gene is related to the previously described QuiC1 protein (39.9% identity) from Pseudomonas putida. Both QuiC1 and QsuB are two-domain bacterial DSDs.
