Bio-conversion of D-galacturonate to keto-deoxy-L-galactonate. Conversion of D-galacturonate to keto-deoxy-L-galactonate by T. reesei Δlga1 (solid symbols) and A. niger ΔgaaC (open symbols) in flasks at 30°C, 200 rpm. Mycelia were pre-grown in medium containing 20 g D-xylose and 1 g peptone l-1, and were washed with sterile H2O before incubation in D-galacturonate, initial pH 5.2 to 5.5. D-galacturonate concentration is shown on the right. Error bars represent ± standard error of the mean.
