New Corynebacterium study findings have been published by L. Botella and colleagues
June 9th, 2009
According to a study from Julich, Germany, "Genome sequence information suggests that B-12-dependent mutases are present in a number of bacteria, including members of the suborder Corynebacterineae like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium glutamicum. We here functionally identify a methylmalonyl coenzyme A (CoA) mutase in C. glutamicum that is retained in all of the members of the suborder Corynebacterineae and is encoded by NCgl1471, NCgl1472, and NCgl1470." "In addition, we observe the presence of methylmalonate in C. glutamicum, reaching concentrations of up to 757 nmol g (dry weight)(-1) in propionate-grown cells, whereas in Escherichia coli no...
