Succinate is effectively taken up by washed cells of Corynebacterium glutamicum. The apparent Km value of uptake is about 150 microM and the Vmax 4-7 nmol (mg dry weight)-1 min-1 and uptake can be competetively inhibited by fumarate and oxaloacetate. The activation energy was determined to be 50 kJ/mol. The transport activity is clearly dependent on the presence of Na+ ions in the incubation medium and on the membrane potential and has a pH optimum around 8.5. It is concluded that succinate is taken up in C. glutamicum via a specific carrier by a secondary active, Na+ coupled mechanism.

Inducible systems are crucial to metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, enabling organisms that function as biosensors and produce valuable compounds. However, almost all inducible systems are strain-specific, limiting comparative analyses and applications across strains rapidly. This study designed and presented a robust workflow for developing the cross-species inducible system.

Protocatechuate acid (PCA) is a phenolic acid naturally synthesized by various organisms. Protocatechuic acid is synthesized by plants for physiological, metabolic functions, and self-defense, but extraction from plants is less efficient compared to the microbial culture process. The microbial synthesis of protocatechuic acid is sustainable and, due to its high yield, can save energy consumption when producing the same amount.

Peptidoglycan (PGN) is a unique component of prokaryotic cell walls with immune-enhancing capacities. Here, we extracted PGN from , a by-product of amino acid fermentation, using the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) method. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the presence of PGN, with a band of approximately 28 kDa.

The biobased production of chemicals is essential for advancing a sustainable chemical industry. 1,5-Pentanediol (1,5-PDO), a five-carbon diol with considerable industrial relevance, has shown limited microbial production efficiency until now. This study presents the development and optimization of a microbial system to produce 1,5-PDO from glucose in Corynebacterium glutamicum via the l-lysine-derived pathway.

Ectoine is a valuable compatible solute with extensive applications in bioengineering, cosmetics, medicine, and the food industry. While certain halophilic bacteria can naturally produce ectoine, as a model organism for biomanufacturing, offers significant advantages to be engineered for potentially high-level ectoine production. However, complex metabolic flux distributions and byproduct formation present bottlenecks that limit ectoine production in .
