Roles of maltodextrin and glycogen phosphorylases in maltose utilization and glycogen metabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum.

Abstract excerpt

Corynebacterium glutamicum transiently accumulates large amounts of glycogen, when cultivated on glucose and other sugars as a source of carbon and energy. Apart from the debranching enzyme GlgX, which is required for the formation of maltodextrins from glycogen, alpha-glucan phosphorylases were assumed to be involved in glycogen degradation, forming alpha-glucose 1-phosphate from glycogen and from maltodextrins....
