Gene database of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032

An important biotechnology host, Corynebacterium
glutamicum has seen significant research attention over the years. But,
what endears this rod-shaped, Gram-positive microorganism to biotechnologists
is its robust metabolic repertoire that could be shaped into a microbial cell
factory for producing a variety of value-added products through metabolic
engineering. This work describes the gene database of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 obtained through parsing the annotated genome sequence file of the bacterium
from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function descriptor and gene sequence
for every gene in the genome of this biotechnology workhorse, the resource
should find use in a variety of settings in applied and fundamental
microbiology research seeking to expand the types of products synthesized by
this microorganism through genetic engineering and metabolic engineering.
