Abstract: Corynebacterium glutamicum is used in biotechnology for the industrial-scale production of amino acids, particularly glutamate and lysine. Beyond its role in production, Corynebacterium glutamicum has become a new model organism for microbial cell biology in recent years. Its well-characterized genetics, robust metabolism, and non-pathogenicity allow exploration of bacterial cell processes, such as cell wall synthesis, division, and response to environmental stress, positioning it as a new model for studying fundamental biological mechanisms in prokaryotes.
