Keto-deoxy-L-galactonate production in media supplemented with D-xylose. Keto-deoxy-L-galactonate produced by T. reesei Δlga1 in flasks (200 rpm) or bioreactors (pH 5.5, 500-600 rpm, 1 vvm air) at 30°C. 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 medium containing approximately 10 (solid symbols) or 20 (open symbols) g D-galacturonate l-1 with 0 to 10 g D-xylose l-1. Error bars represent ± standard error of the mean.
