Production of L-lactic acid by Rhizopus oryzae under oxygen limiting conditions
1998
Skory, C.D. | Freer, S.N. | Bothast, R.J.
During aerobic growth, Rhizopus oryzae produces L-lactic acid from lactate dehydrogenase mediated reduction of pyruvate, while O2 limiting conditions yield primarily ethanol. A mutant was isolated that expressed only 5% of the wild type alcohol dehydrogenase activity under O2 limiting conditions and produced nearly 40 g lactic acid/l in 70 h. This is almost a ten-fold increase in lactic acid production when compared to the parent strain.
