The textbook "Corynebacterium glutamicum" offers a comprehensive and updated examination of the molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques relevant to the study of Corynebacterium glutamicum. In this second edition, modern omics-based approaches as well as fundamental aspects of cell physiology are addressed, including cell division, central carbon metabolism pathways, and the respiratory chain. The authors illustrate how primary mechanisms such as energy metabolism can be applied in biotechnological processes like biorefinery. Newly added topics, such as cell envelope structures and the metabolism of aromatic compounds, expand the knowledge of microbial production of chemicals, fuels, and proteins. This book is aimed at professionals and students interested in the industrial use of microorganisms and who wish to enhance their productivity through efficient metabolic engineering techniques.
