Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the influence of phosphate (P-i) limitation on the metabolism of Corynebacterium glutamicum. Metabolite analysis by gas chromatography-time-of-flight (GC-TOF) mass spectrometry of cells cultivated in glucose minimal medium revealed a greatly increased maltose level under P-i limitation. As maltose formation could be linked to glycogen metabolism, the cellular glycogen content was determined. Unlike in cells grown under P-i excess, the glycogen level in P-i-limited cells remained high in the stationary phase. Surprisingly, even acetate-grown cells, which do not form glycogen under P-i excess, did so under P-i limitation and also retained it in stationary phase. Expression of pgm and glgC, encoding the first two enzymes of glycogen synthesis, phosphoglucomutase and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, was found to be increased 6- and 3-fold under P-i limitation, respectively. Increased glycogen synthesis together with a decreased glycogen degradation might be responsible for the altered glycogen metabolism. Independent from these experimental results, flux balance analysis suggested that an increased carbon flux to glycogen is a solution for C. glutamicum to adapt carbon metabolism to limited P-i concentrations.
