Filamentous fungi are used for the production of a multitude of highly relevant
biotechnological products like citric acid and penicillin. In submerged culture, fungi can …

The use of fungi for the production of commercial products is ancient, but it has increased
rapidly over the last 50 years. Fungi are morphologically complex organisms, differing in …

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 …

This work provides a review about the biotechnological production of citric acid starting from
the physicochemical properties and industrial applications, mainly in the food and …

Filamentous fungi have been widely applied in industrial biotechnology for many decades.
In submerged culture processes, they typically exhibit a complex morphological life cycle …

Cultivation processes involving filamentous fungi have been optimised for decades to obtain
high product yields. Several bulk chemicals like citric acid and penicillin are produced this …

Abstract Background The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is a widely used strain in a
broad range of industrial processes from food to pharmaceutical industry. One of the most …

Background Although the citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger is one of the most
important industrial microbial processes and various aspects of the fermentation appear in a …

Because of their metabolic diversity, high production capacity, secretion efficiency, and
capability of carrying out posttranslational modifications, filamentous fungi are widely …

Biorefineries are facilities in which lignocellulosic biomasses are converted in a wide range
of bioproducts facilitating the transition from the use of petrochemical resources to …
