ABSTRACT
AmtR, the master regulator of nitrogen control in Corynebacterium glutamicum, plays important roles in nitrogen metabolism. To investigate the influence of AmtR on amino acids production in C. glutamicum ATCC 13032, the amtR deletion strain C. glutamicum Q1 was constructed and cultured in modified CGXII minimal medium for 60 h. The ammonium consumption rates as well as amino acids production of both strains cultured in modified CGXII minimal medium were determined. The amtR deletion in C. glutamicum caused an obvious growth defect in the exponential growth phase, but both strains had the same biomass in the stationary phases. Maybe the less alpha-oxoglutarate was used for the tricarboxylic acid cycle to influence the growth of strains. During 12 h, the rate of ammonium consumption and the concentration of Glu, Pro, Arg and Ser were higher but Asp, Gly, Ile, Leu, Lys were lower in the mutation strain. During 48 h, the Q1 had higher levels of Asp, Lys, Pro, Ala and Val,and lower levels of Glu, Arg, Leu and Ile, compared to the wild. The more Glu was synthesized by the activated GS/GOGAT pathway in Q1, and then the accumulation of relative amino acids (Pro, Arg and Ser) were up-regulated within 12 h growth. After 48 h growth, the amtR deletion obviously influenced accumulation of Ala, Asp and Pro. The amtR deletion could influence the growth and amino acids production, which could be useful to the production of amino acids.
