Enhanced lipid production by addition of malic acid in fermentation of recombinant Mucor circinelloides Mc-MT-2

Abstract In our previous work, we reported a novel approach for increasing lipid production in an oleaginous fungus Mucor circinelloides by overexpression of mitochondrial malate transporter protein. This transporter plays a vital role in fatty acid biosynthesis during malate and citrate transport s...
