Corynebacterium glutamicum is an industrial microbe traditionally used for the production of amino acids. However, it demonstrated its potential for the fermentative production of various products through genetic-metabolic engineering. It was first discovered as a producer of glutamate. It is now used to produce amino acids, such as lysine, threonine, and isoleucine, as well as vitamins such as pantothenate. Through genetic alterations, this microbe demonstrated its effectiveness for the simultaneous use of hexose and pentose sugars from biomass hydrolyzate for the manufacture of value-added products, such as amino acids and polyamines, and therefore, it is a strain of choice to work in a biorefinery concept. This soil microbe also showed its effectiveness in bioremediation purposes, such as the removal of arsenic. This chapter will provide an overview of C. glutamicum, including taxonomy, genomics, proteomics, unique metabolic pathways for amino acid production (primarily for glutamic acid and lysine), and industrial potentials primarily in the food industry.
