Aspergillus terreus Unimap AA-1: A Newly Isolated Extracellular Glucose Oxidase-Producing Strain
Glucose oxidase (GOx) has found wide range of industrial applications. Commercial GOx are produced from Aspergillus niger and selected strains of Penicllium species, however, these strains are associated with some drawbacks. Aspergillus niger produces predominantly intracellular GOx, which requires extra recovery processes thus incurs more processing cost while Penicillium sp. exhibits filament...
متن کاملExploitation of Aspergillus terreus for the Production of Natural Statins
The fungus Aspergillus (A.) terreus has dominated the biological production of the "blockbuster" drugs known as statins. The statins are a class of drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and lead to lower cholesterol production. The statins were initially discovered in fungi and for many years fungi were the sole source for the statins. At present, novel chemically synthesised statins are produce...
متن کاملUltraviolet-induced mutational changes in enzyme activity of Aspergillus terreus.
In previous publications Arpai (1957) and Arpai and Valentin (1957) described the production of ultraviolet-induced mutants of Aspergillus terreus, using nondifferentiated spore material and conidia differentiated by sedimentation rate. A limited number of the irradiated strains were morphologically altered and produced more itaconic acid than did the parent strain. The products of these strain...
متن کاملIsolation , Chemical Structure , Acute Toxicity , and Some Physicochemical Properties of Territrem C from Aspergillus terreus KUO
Territrem C, a new tremorgenic mycotoxin (C28H3209; molecular weight, 512.20) was isolated from the chloroform extract of rice cultures of Aspergillus terreus 23-1, which also produces territrems A and B. Isolation, acute toxicity, and some physicochemical properties of territrem C are discussed in this paper. The spectral and chemical evidence indicated that the structural difference between t...
متن کاملDirect production of itaconic acid from liquefied corn starch by genetically engineered Aspergillus terreus
BACKGROUND Itaconic acid is on the DOE (Department of Energy) top 12 list of biotechnologically produced building block chemicals and is produced commercially by Aspergillus terreus. However, the production cost of itaconic acid is too high to be economically competitive with the petrochemical-based products. Itaconic acid is generally produced from raw corn starch, including three steps: enzym...
