Corynebacterium glutamicum is used in biotechnology for the industrial-scale production of amino acids, particularly glutamate and lysine. Beyond its role in production, Corynebacterium glutamicum has become a new model organism for microbial cell biology in recent years. Its well-characterized genetics, robust metabolism, and non-pathogenicity allow exploration of bacterial cell processes, such as cell wall synthesis, divisio...

Two bacterial strains, KH365_2 T and KH569_7, were isolated from the cecum contents of wild-derived house mice. The strains were characterized as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic, and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that both strains were most closely related to Bacteroides uniformis ATCC 8492 T . Whole genome sequences of KH365_2 T and KH569_7 strains have a DNA G + C c...

Summary In ever‐changing natural environments, bacteria are continuously challenged with numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. Accordingly, they have evolved both specific and more general mechanisms to counteract stress‐induced damage and ensure survival. In the soil habitat of B acillus subtilis , peptide antibiotics and bacteriophages are among the primary stressors that affect the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane. Dyn...
