The invention discloses corynebacterium glutamicum for high yield of citrulline and an application of the corynebacterium glutamicum in fermented production of citrulline. The strain is classified and named as corynebacterium glutamicum CIT002 and has been preserved in China general microbiological collection center of China Committee for Culture Collection of Microorganisms, and the preservation number is CGMCC No.11567. The invention further discloses a method for producing citrulline from the corynebacterium glutamicum for high yield of citrulline. Compared with a chemical method, the method has the advantages that the energy consumption and the pollution are low, non-fossil resources are taken as a raw material, the cost is low, the process is easy to control, and the yield is high; compared with original bacteria, the strain uses single fermentation products, few by-products are generated, and the yield is high.
