Corynebacteria belong to the high G+C Gram‐positive bacteria (Actinobacteria) and are closely related to Mycobacterium and Nocardia species. The best investigated member of this group of almost seventy species is Corynebacterium glutamicum, a soil bacterium isolated in 1957, which is used for the industrial production of more than two million tons of amino acids per year. This review focuses on the technical advances made in proteomics approaches during the last years and summarizes…

This chapter will address the main omics approaches used in studies involving the genus Corynebacterium, Gram-positive microorganisms that can be isolated from many diverse environments. Currently,…
Cellular and Extracellular Proteome of the Animal Pathogen Corynebacterium silvaticum, a Close Relative of Zoonotic Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
TLDR
The proteome analyses carried out in this study support the recently published taxonomical delineation of C. silvaticum from the closely related zoonotic Corynebacterium species.
Editorial: Actinobacteria, a Source of Biocatalytic Tools
TLDR
Actinobacteria (Actinomycetes) represent one of the largest and most diverse phyla among the Bacteria and are hotspots for discovery of new biomolecules and enzyme activities, fueling an active field of research.

Production of l-valine from metabolically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum
TLDR
The global metabolic and regulatory networks responsible for l-valine biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms of regulation, and the strategies employed in C. glutamicum strain engineering are reviewed.
Secreted and cell surface proteome analysis of pathogenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae reveals proteins relevant to virulence
TLDR
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics measurements on samples of pathogenic C. diphtheriae culture supernatant and cell-surface digested proteins identified greater than 3 times more proteins than a previous similar study, as well as pathologically relevant proteins involved in iron-uptake and cell adhesion.
Surface and Extracellular Proteome of the Emerging Pathogen Corynebacterium ulcerans
TLDR
Proteome analyses of surface-located proteins and the exoproteome of two Corynebacterium ulcerans strains revealed a higher stability of 809 cells compared to strain BR-AD22, and indicate differential expression of phospholipase D and a cell wall-associated hydrolase, since these were only detected in strain BR -AD22.
Regulons of global transcription factors in Corynebacterium glutamicum
TLDR
This mini-review summarizes the current knowledge of the regulons of the C. glutamicum transcription factors that have been analyzed via ChIP-based technologies, and reveals new physiological roles of the transcription factors and new regulatory interactions.

Secretion of Streptomyces mobaraensis pro-transglutaminase by coryneform bacteria
TLDR
These findings suggest that some other coryneform bacteria, especially C. ammoniagenes ATCC6872, are potential hosts for industrial scale protein production, and most c Coryneform species secreted pro-transglutaminase efficiently.
Proteome analysis of Corynebacterium glutamicum
TLDR
An approach to analyze the C. glutamicum proteome by a combination of two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis and protein identification via microsequencing or mass spectrometry, with the aim to establish 2‐D protein maps as a tool for basic microbiology and for strain improvement.
Nitrogen regulation in Corynebacterium glutamicum: isolation of genes involved and biochemical characterization of corresponding proteins.
TLDR
The regulation of nitrogen assimilation was investigated in the Gram-positive actinomycete Corynebacterium glutamicum and it was found that glutamine synthetase activity is regulated via adenylylation in this organism.
Adaptation of Corynebacterium glutamicum to Ammonium Limitation: a Global Analysis Using Transcriptome and Proteome Techniques
TLDR
The results show that ammonium-limited growth of C. glutamicum results in a rearrangement of the cellular transport capacity, changes in metabolic pathways for nitrogen assimilation, amino acid biosynthesis, and carbon metabolism, as well as a decreased cell division.
The Corynebacterium glutamicum genome: features and impacts on biotechnological processes
TLDR
A novel methodology that merges genomics with classical strain improvement has been developed and applied for the reconstruction of classically derived production strains and the path from genomics to biotechnological processes is presented.
Physiological adaptation of Corynebacterium glutamicum to benzoate as alternative carbon source – a membrane proteome‐centric view
TLDR
A global adaptation was observed in the membrane of benzoate‐grown cells, characterized by increased abundance of proteins of the respiratory chain, by a starvation response, and by changes in sulfur metabolism involving the regulator McbR.
Corynebacterium efficiens sp. nov., a glutamic-acid-producing species from soil and vegetables.
TLDR
It is proposed that the three glutamic-acid-producing coryneform strains together be classified as Corynebacterium efficiens sp.

TLDR
A considerable strain difference was observed in the proteomic images between strains ATCC 14067 and ATCC 13032 grown under the glutamic acid production conditions, suggesting the importance of strain‐specific reference map for proteomic analysis.
