Isolation and Screening of Aspergillus niger Mutant for Improved Gluconic Acid Production

Ayodele E. O., Afolabi F. T.*

Gluconic acid (GA, C6H12O7, or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid) is a mild organic acid resulting from the oxidation of D-glucose. Gluconic acid has low toxicity, low corrosion and form complexes with metal ions giving it wide application in several industries. This study aimed to isolate and screen for Aspergillus niger mutant for improved ...
