New pathway for nonphosphorylated degradation of gluconate by Aspergillus niger.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new nonphosphorylative pathway for gluconate degradation was found in extracts of a strain of Aspergillus niger. The findings indicate that gluconate is dehydrated into 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconate (KDG), which then is cleaved into glyceraldehyde and pyruvate. 6-Phosphogluconate was not degraded under the same conditions. In addition, KDG was formed from glyceraldehyde and pyruvate. Very weak activity was obtained when glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate replaced glyceraldehyde in this reaction.

Biominerlization and possible endosulfan degradation pathway adapted by Aspergillus niger.
Endosulfan is a chlorinated pesticide; its persistence in the environment and toxic effects on biota are demanding its removal. This study aims at improving the tolerance of the previously isolated fungus Aspergillus niger (A. niger) ARIFCC 1053 to endosulfan. Released chloride, dehalogenase activity, and released proteins were estimated along with analysis of endosulfan degradation and pathway...
متن کاملNADPH‐dependent 5‐keto‐D‐gluconate reductase is a part of the fungal pathway for D‐glucuronate catabolism
NADPH-dependent 5-keto-D-gluconate reductase was identified as a missing element in the pathway for D-glucuronate catabolism in fungi. The disruption of the gene, gluF, by CRISPR/Cas9 in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger resulted in a strain unable to catabolise D-glucuronate. The purified GluF protein was characterized and kcat and Km values of 23.7 ± 1.8 s-1 and 3.2 ± 0.1 mm for 5-keto...
متن کاملScreening a Strain of Aspergillus niger and Optimization of Fermentation Conditions for Degradation of Aflatoxin B1 †
Aflatoxin B₁, a type of highly toxic mycotoxin produced by some species belonging to the Aspergillus genus, such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, is widely distributed in feed matrices. Here, coumarin was used as the sole carbon source to screen microorganism strains that were isolated from types of feed ingredients. Only one isolate (ND-1) was able to degrade aflatoxin B₁ aft...
متن کاملEffect of ammonium and nitrate ratio on glucose oxidase activity during gluconic acid fermentation by a mutant strain of Aspergillus niger.
Of the factors tested, the source and concentration of carbon and nitrogen in the medium exerted maximum effect on growth and acid production. Glucose (15%) and urea (0.14%) induced glucose oxidase synthesis and optimum yield of calcium gluconate. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (0.2%) and magnesium sulphate (0.06%) stimulated glucose oxidase activity and calcium gluconate production. Borax at a...
