Screening for L-sorbose and L-sorbosone dehydrogenase producing microbes for 2-keto-L-gulonic acid production
Acetic acid bacteria incompletely oxidize L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KLG) by L-sorbose- and L-sorbosone dehydrogenases. In order to isolate novel microorganisms with these enzyme activities, a new scree...

Enhanced l-lysine production in threonine-limited continuous culture of Corynebacterium glutamicum by using gluconate as a secondary carbon source with glucose
In order to improve the production rate of l-lysine, a mutant of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21513 was cultivated in complex medium with gluconate and glucose as mixed carbon sources. In a batch culture, thi...

Characterisation of kinetic parameters and metabolic transition of Corynebacterium glutamicum on l-lysine production in continuous culture
Kinetic parameters and physiological states of Corynebacterium glutamicum at the growing and l-lysine-overproducing phase were characterised in continuous culture on threonine-limited complex and minimal media. H...

Physiological aspects of l-lysine production: effect of nutritional limitations on a producing strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum
The effect of nutritional limitations, such as phosphorus and carbon, on the production of l-lysine by Corynebacterium glutamicum was studied in continuous culture. We observed that phosphate-limited cultures at ...

Corynebacterium glutamicum: morphological and ultrastructural changes of l-lysine producing cells in continuous culture
Corynebacterium glutamicum was observed to undergo several morphological and ultrastructural changes during a shift in dilution rate when grown in phosphate-limiting continuous culture. At 0.1 h−1 the cell cultu...
