(Microbiology Monographs (23)) 2nd ed. 2020 Edition
by Masayuki Inui (Editor), Koichi Toyoda (Editor)
This updated second edition covers the molecular biology, genome engineering tools and comprehensive analysis techniques for Corynebacterium glutamicum.
Aside from modern omics-based approaches, the authors also focus on
cell physiology, including cell division, central carbon metabolic
pathways, and the respiratory chain. Readers will learn how primary
mechanisms like energy metabolism can be applied in processes like
biorefinery. Newly added topics include cell envelope structures and
aromatic compound metabolism in C. glutamicum. These chapters
will be particularly useful for those interested in the microbial
production of commodity chemicals, fuels, and proteins.
Corynebacteriacea are already some of the most important industrial microorganisms. Understanding the cell physiology of C. glutamicum will help manufacturers to increase their product range and productivity through efficient metabolic engineering.
