Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis in fermentation for citric acid production and xylitol accumulation by using D-xylose as the sole carbon source, a sttrain carrying mutant K274R shows a 2.8fold reduction in xylitol accumulation and 4.5fold increase in citric acid production compared to the wild-type strain Aspergillus carbonarius

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
K274R mutation introduced to change the specificity toward NADH. Fermentation with the mutant strain shows a 2.8fold reduction in xylitol accumulation and 4.5fold increase in citric acid production compared to the wild-type strain Aspergillus carbonarius
