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 کاملCitric Acid Fermentation by Aspergillus niger on Low Sugar Concentrations and Cotton Waste.
The possible use of cotton waste as a carbohydrate source of citric acid production by Aspergillus niger was examined. No citric acid was produced when A. niger was grown on cotton waste as a sole carbon source. In two-stage fermentations, however, mycelium obtained from surface cultures in cotton waste medium yielded more citric acid when transferred to sucrose-containing media than when direc...
متن کاملAdvances in citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger: biochemical aspects, membrane transport and modeling.
Citric acid is regarded as a metabolite of energy metabolism, of which the concentration will rise to appreciable amounts only under conditions of substantive metabolic imbalances. Citric acid fermentation conditions were established during the 1930s and 1940s, when the effects of various medium components were evaluated. The biochemical mechanism by which Aspergillus niger accumulates citric a...
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...
