Corynebacterium accolens DSM 44278 is a nasal commensal with emerging probiotic potential and relevance to respiratory health, including interactions with respiratory pathogens in the upper airway. These properties make C. accolens a promising candidate for metabolic engineering, which can benefit from a whole-cell kinetic model to evaluate various engineering proposals in silico. However, there is currently no reported whole-cell kinetic model for C. accolens. Therefore, this study constructs a whole-cell simulatable kinetic model of C. accolens DSM 44278 using an ab initio approach by identifying enzymes from its reference genome. The resulting model, caccSM26, comprises 1097 metabolites, 407 enzymes with associated transcription and translation processes, and 1182 enzymatic reactions represented as ordinary differential equations using representative kinetic parameters. This whole-cell kinetic model serves as a foundational framework for future refinement with organism-specific data and for in silico exploration of growth behaviour, regulatory mechanisms, and metabolic engineering strategies in this clinically relevant commensal.
