Description:	Corynebacterium glutamicum (Strain R) is a facultative aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile, saprophytic bacterium phylogenetically associated with the Actinobacteria. C. glutamicum was isolated from meadow soil in Japan. It is a well-studied soil bacterium of considerable importance in biotechnology, in particular for the fermentative production of L-amino acids for food and fodder industry. The name was originaly given for this species for its ability to produce significant quantities of glutamic acid, an important food enhancer that has a meaty taste and flavor. C. glutamicum is currently used commercially to produce glutamate and other amino acids (L-lysine) and compounds.
