Corynebacterium glutamicum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria which is used industrially for large-scale production of amino acids.[1] While originally identified in a screen for organisms secreting L-glutamate, mutants of C. glutamicum have also been identified which produce various other amino acids.[2]
Due to its industrial importance, several clones of C. glutamicum have been sequenced by both industry and academic groups.[1]
