In the last years, itaconic acid has gained increasing interest as future bio-based platform
chemical. To replace petrol-based compounds such as methacrylic acid in industry, the …

This article reviews the present state of research on the conversion of low cost substrates to
citric acid by fermentation. Fermentation is a powerful incentive for semi-industrialized …

Epoxidised soybean oil (ESO) was cross-linked with an aqueous citric acid (CA) solution
without the addition of any other catalyst or solvent. Completely bio-based polymer networks …

Aim To evaluate, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the efficacy of smear layer
removal using chitosan compared with different chelating agents, and to quantify, by atomic …

Biochemical systems theory (BST) is the foundation for a set of analytical andmodeling tools
that facilitate the analysis of dynamic biological systems. This paper depicts major …

Species in the filamentous fungal genus Aspergillus display a wide diversity of lifestyles and
are of great importance to humans. The decoding of genome sequences from a dozen …

A strain WHAK1, identified as Aspergillus niger, was isolated from Yichang phosphate mines
in Hubei province of China. The fungus developed a phosphate solubilization zone on …

Citric acid production from hydrolysed corn starch was optimized in this study. Response
surface methodology (RSM) was employed for the analysis of the simultaneous effect of …

In this study, some of the ATP-citrate lyase genes (ACL1) were deleted and the copy number
of the iso-citrate lyase gene (ICL1) was increased in the marine-derived yeast Yarrowia …

Background The citric acid (CA) industry is currently struggling to develop a sustainable and
economical process owing to high substrate and energy costs. Increasing interest in the …
