Abstract excerpt
We have developed a system for the genetic manipulation of the amino acid-producing Corynebacterium glutamicum. Gene disruption and replacement were achieved by introducing, via conjugation, Escherichia coli vector plasmids carrying manipulated C. glutamicum DNA fragments. We obtained stable mutants in which the chromosomal lysA gene, encoding meso-diaminopimelate decarboxylase, was interrupted by a...
