HAMAP: Corynebacterium glutamicum (strain R) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Corynebacterium glutamicum (strain R)
Species code: CORGB
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Corynebacterineae; Corynebacteriaceae; Corynebacterium (TaxID: 340322) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Bacteria from the genus Corynebacterium are Gram-positive, nonmotile rods which include both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species that can live in a large variety of habitats. In addition to being animal and human pathogens, they have been isolated from soil, plant material, waste water, and dairy products.

Corynebacterium glutamicum (Strain R) is a facultative aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile, saprophytic bacterium phylogenetically associated with the Actinobacteria. C. glutamicum was isolated from meadow soil in Japan. It is a well-studied soil bacterium of considerable importance in biotechnology, in particular for the fermentative production of L-amino acids for food and fodder industry. The name was originaly given for this species for its ability to produce significant quantities of glutamic acid, an important food enhancer that has a meaty taste and flavor. C. glutamicum is currently used commercially to produce glutamate and other amino acids (L-lysine) and compounds.
