Aconitase and citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger.
In view of the often-cited theory that citric acid accumulation is caused by an inhibition of aconitase activity, the equilibrium of the reaction of aconitase was investigated by comparing in vivo steady-state concentrations of citrate and isocitrate in Aspergillus niger grown under various citric acid-producing conditions. With the equilibrium catalyzed by the A. niger enzyme in vitro, similar...
متن کاملCitric Acid Production by Aspergillus Niger*
the Stokes' equation (4). The anomalous appearance of the curves might suggest that a non-random sample had been selected, but examination of the frequencies of cells appearing in different size ranges reveals a normal distribution indicating that a random sample had been selected. The diameters of cells and the correspondent frequencies are: 3.5-2; 4.0-7; 4.5-10; 5.0-20; 5.5-17; 6.0-8; 6.5-2; ...
متن کاملOptimisation of Citric Acid Production from a Novel Strain of Aspergillus niger by Submerged Fermentation
Fungi isolated from various rotten fruits and vegetables were screened for the capability of producing citric acid. Aspergillus niger (A. niger) was obtained in the decayed onion peels and denoted as KON13 and this fungi strain was used in the production of citric acid by submerged fermentation. Critical process parameters affecting the fermentative citric acid production were investigated, inc...
متن کاملProduction of citric acid by mutants of Aspergillus niger.
Development of methodology for the recovery of citric acid from the fermented broth involves standardization of the various parameters to achieve maximum performance in terms of recovery and optimum conditions. The present investigation was carried out to study the purification of citric acid from fermented broth by calcium carbonate precipitation and subsequent acid hydrolysis. The parameters ...
متن کاملEFFECT OF LOW pH ON CONTINUOUS CITRIC ACID FERMENTATION BY ASPERGILLUS NIGER
The present study is concerned with the effect of low pH on continuous citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger strain SK-17. Microbial cultivations were carried out in a stainless steel stirred bioreactor of 15 L total capacity. The bioconversion of glucose to citric acid at low pH was investigated on cellulose fabric. Sucrose solution (100 g/l) was made to flow through capillaries of a v...
