L-arginine is an essential amino acid, widely used in pharmaceutical, feed and food industry. It is the precursor molecule in citrulline and nitric oxide synthesis, which in turn plays significant role in a wide variety of patho -physiological functions in the cardiovascular, central and peripheral nervous systems. In the present study, mutagenesis experiments were carried out for isolation of analogue resistant mutants against Corynebacterium glutamicum. Initially, MIC (Minimum inhibitory concentration) was identified for arginine analogues by tube dilution method. MIC values found to be Arginine hydroximate -680 µg/ml. Further, mutagenesis of C. glutamicum was carried out with NTG (300µg/ml) and amino acid analogue resistant mutants were isolated in minimal media. Fermentation was carried out by resistant colonies and estimated the Arginine levels. Production level was found to be 5.2 mg /ml where as in control cells it was 1.4 mg /ml. This study highlighted the C. glutamicum mutant of L-arginine amino acid production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
