Usefulness of C. glutamicum strain as a protein/peptide producing host

About C. glutamicum

It is an FDA-certified producer and has excellent characteristics for low-cost pharmaceutical production compared to E.coil, such as the absence of endotoxin and the direct secretory expression of proteins in the culture medium.

Diverse secretion systems and breeding tools

We examine three secretory pathways of the COYRNEX® system and utilize a variety of host cell/signal peptide libraries to construct optimal production strains.

  • Three different secretion systems are available.
    We select the best system that suits the characteristics of the target molecule.
  • 168 signal peptide libraries are available in the Sec system.
    This is useful for expression enhancement.
  • CORYNEX® has host cell libraries.
    We can select the most suitable host.

Example of Protein Expression

CORYNEX® can produce a wide range of peptides/proteins
