Abstract:Corynebacterium glutamicum
(
C. glutamicum
) has been considered a very important and meaningful industrial microorganism for the production of amino acids worldwide. To produce amino acids, cells require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), which is a biological reducing agent. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) can supply NADPH in cells via the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) enzyme, which is an oxidoreductase that converts 6-phosphogluconate (6PG) t… Show more
