SAMN32316699 mutR SRS16216631 Corynebacterium glutamicum High tolerant and efficient whole-cell biocatalysts for upgrading biomass-derived furfural into high-value chemicals are urgently needed in biorefinery. In this study, a furfural tolerant strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 (named Mutant R) was developed by adaptive laboratory evolution and rational design was subsequently applied to enhance 2-furoic acid and furfuryl alcohol production City University of Hong Kong Patrick Lee kh Microbe, viral or environmental Microbe.1.0 ATCC 13032 not provided Hong Kong cell culture type strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC:13032 missing
