Abstract
The present invention provides a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum producing N-acetylglucosamine and use thereof. The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum is obtained by overexpressing, in Corynebacterium glutamicum, the transcription factor SugR derived therefrom. The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum of the present invention increases the production of acetylglucosamine to up to 26 g/L, and lays a foundation for further metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum to produce glucosamine.
