Description |
Corynebacterium efficiens is a small, generally nonmotile,
Gram-positive, non-sporulating pleomorphic bacillus that enjoys widespread
distribution. Corynebacteria are chemoorganotroph and aerobic, or facultatively
anaerobic, exhibiting a fermentative metabolism (carbohydrates to lactic acid)
under certain conditions. They are fastidious organisms, growing slowly on even
an enriched medium. C. efficiens serve for the industrial production of
L-Amino acids, in particular L-Glutamic acid (a million tons each year), for a
long time. C. efficiens can grow at temperatures above 40 degrees
Celsius and this feature is quite beneficial for its industrial use, because
fermenters to be used for its cultivation need to be cooled down only to a
lesser extent for heat removal (Ref.1).
