Popis: Corynebacterium glutamicumis a biotin-auxotrophic bacterium and some strains efficiently produce glutamic acid under biotin-limiting conditions. In an effort to understandC. glutamicummetabolism under biotin limitation, growth of the type strain ATCC 13032 was investigated in batch cultures and a time-course analysis was performed. A transient excretion of organic acids was observed and we focused our attention on lactate synthesis. Lactate synthesis was due to theldh-encodedl-lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh). Features of Ldh activity andldhtranscription were analysed. Theldhgene was shown to be regulated at the transcriptional level by SugR, a pleiotropic transcriptional repressor also acting on most phosphotransferase system (PTS) genes. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and site-directed mutagenesis allowed the identification of the SugR-binding site. Effector studies using EMSAs and analysis ofldhexpression in aptsFmutant revealed fructose 1-phosphate as a highly efficient negative effector of SugR. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate also affected SugR binding.
