Abstract excerpt
Glycogen is generally assumed to serve as a major reserve polysaccharide in bacteria. In this work, glycogen accumulation in the amino acid producer Corynebacterium glutamicum was characterized, expression of the C. glutamicum glgC gene, encoding the key enzyme in glycogen synthesis, ADP-glucose (ADP-Glc) pyrophosphorylase, was analysed, and the relevance of this enzyme for growth, survival, amino acid production...
