Corynebacterium Mutant Strain for Enhanced L-Arginine or L-Citrulline Productivity
Summary
The USPTO has published a patent application by Daesang Corporation for a Corynebacterium mutant strain designed for enhanced L-arginine or L-citrulline productivity. The application details a method for producing these amino acids using the modified strain, which exhibits increased activity in the L-arginine biosynthesis pathway.
What changed
This document is a publication of a patent application (US20260085279A1) filed by Daesang Corporation with the USPTO. The application describes a novel mutant strain of Corynebacterium bacteria that has been engineered to enhance the production of L-arginine or L-citrulline. The modification targets the acetylglutamate kinase enzyme within the L-arginine biosynthesis pathway, resulting in increased productivity compared to existing strains.
While this is a patent application and not a regulation imposing direct compliance obligations, it is relevant for companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors involved in amino acid production. Companies developing or utilizing similar microbial strains for L-arginine or L-citrulline synthesis should be aware of this intellectual property filing. The publication date of March 26, 2026, indicates when this information became publicly available, and the filing date was November 24, 2025.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain having increased L-arginine or L-citrulline productivity and a method of producing L-arginine or L-citrulline using the same. The Corynebacterium sp. mutant strain has enhanced activity of acetylglutamate kinase involved in the L-arginine biosynthesis pathway, and thus is capable of producing L-arginine or L-citrulline in an increased yield compared to a parent strain.
