Abstract: In this paper, the growth curve and utility rate of carbon, the pruducing curve of arginine and the pH of the culture medium of C.crenatum were determined. The results showed that C.crenatumA.S.M2.sp is the bacterium which has the highest yield of arginine. The yield of this bacterium gets to 9mg/ml. In conclusion, argR gene of C.crenatum is a positive regulator in the metabolism of arginine.

Key words: C.crenatumA.S.M2, C.crenatumA.S.M2△argR, C.crenatumA.S.M2.sp, Arg, argR gene
