Abstract: Corynebacterium glutamicum was isolated in 1956 in Japan because of its remarkable property to secrete large quantities of L-glutamate under specific conditions. This was the start of industrial fermentative amino acid production and of intensive research on this actinobacterium, by which it became a model organism in microbial biotechnology. Nowadays, the spectrum of products that are synthesized with Corynebacterium glutamicum from renewable carbon sources goes far beyond amino acids and includes, e. g., organic acids, amines, isoprenoids, or proteins.
