Engineering a RuBisCO-PRK pathway improves glutamate yields in Corynebacterium glutamicum, suggesting enhanced CO2 utilization potential.

The aim is to improve glutamate production in Corynebacterium glutamicum by engineering CO2 fixation pathways.
Engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum with RuBisCO-PRK pathway.
Evaluated "replacement" and "complementation" metabolic strategies.
Optimized pathways using promoter engineering and adaptive laboratory evolution under CO2 stress.
The "complementation" strategy enhanced glutamate production significantly.
Achieved a glutamate titer of 196.78 g/L in 30 hours.
Demonstrated a 13.94% increase in titer compared to the parental strain.
Reduced glucose consumption by 5.24% while maintaining productivity.

Wei et al. (2026) studied this question.
