Engineering marine fungi for conversion of d-galacturonic acid to mucic acid [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2020 Background Two marine fungi, a Trichoderma sp. and a Coniochaeta sp., which can grow on d-galacturonic acid and pectin, were selected as hosts to engineer for mucic acid production, assessing the suitability of marine fungi for production of platform ...

Genomewide and Enzymatic Analysis Reveals Efficient
mSystems, 2019 Biorefining of renewable feedstocks is one of the most promising routes to replace fossil-based products. Since many common fermentation hosts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are naturally unable to convert many component plant cell wall ...

Online evaluation of the metabolic activity of Ustilago maydis on (poly)galacturonic acid [PDF]
Journal of Biological Engineering, 2018 Background Pectin is a rather complex and highly branched polysaccharide strengthening the plant cell wall. Thus, many different pectinases are required for an efficient microbial conversion of biomass waste streams with a high pectin content like citrus

W361R mutation in GaaR, the regulator of D‐galacturonic acid‐responsive genes, leads to constitutive production of pectinases in Aspergillus niger [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Polysaccharides present in plant biomass, such as pectin, are the main carbon source for filamentous fungi. Aspergillus niger naturally secretes pectinases to degrade pectin and utilize the released monomers, mainly D‐galacturonic acid.

Towards By-Product Utilisation of Pea Hulls: Isolation and Quantification of Galacturonic Acid [PDF]
Foods, 2018 In order to evaluate by-products from food processing as alternative raw materials for pectin extraction, their amount of galacturonic acid (GalA) has to be analysed as a marker for pectin content.
