Reviews
“Corynebacteria have reached a new golden age. This group of bacteria have clinical interest and wide industrial relevance in the production of amino acids, organic acids and carotenoids, among other products. The novel omics tools have a great impact on our knowledge of the corynebacteria molecular genetics and will contribute in the next decades to the rational design of strains of Corynebacterium as a platform for industrial processes.” – Professor Dr. Juan F. Martín, INBIOTEC, Instituto de Biotecnología de León, Parque Científico de León, León, Spain
