The glucose is broken down into C3 and C2 fragments by glutamic acid producing microorganisms through the Embden Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway and the pentose-phosphate pathway and the fragments are channeled into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The reactions of EMP pathway are more common under conditions of glutamic acid production. The key precursor of glutamic […]

Industrial Production of Amino Acids by Microorganism and Fermentation
Industrial Production of Amino Acids by Microorganism and Fermentation! About 20 amino acids are synthesized in the cell of the most microorganisms. They are utilized in the synthesis of proteins and other essential substances required by the cell. Fermentative production of amino acids has started by the discovery of glutamic acid producing bacterium, Corynebacterium glutamicum […]
