Abstract excerpt
Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used in the industrial production of amino acids. Producer strains are generated by classical random mutagenesis, and therefore have detrimental characteristics caused by unnecessary mutations. Increased alkali sensitivity is one of those undesired characteristics. We found that one of the laboratory strains, AJ12036DeltacspADeltacspB, showed decreased growth under alkaline...
