General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function overexpression of the gene, MshA, coding for mycothiol glycosyl transferase improves the robustness of Corynebacterium glutamicum to various stresses. Intracellular mycothiol content is increased by 114% upon overexpression of MshA. Survival rates increased by 44, 39, 90, 77, 131, 87, 52, 47, 57, 85 and 33% as compared to wild-type under stress by H2O2 (40 mM), methylglyoxal (5.8 mM), erythromycin (0.08 mg/ml), streptomycin (0.005 mg/ml), Cd2+ (0.01 mM), Mn2+ (2 mM), formic acid (0.05%), acetic acid (0.15%), levulinic acid (0.25%), furfural (7.2 mM), and ethanol (10% v/v), respectively. Increased mycothiol content also decreases the concentration of reactive oxygen species in the presence of the above stresses Corynebacterium glutamicum
