Abstract
The metabolism of a citric-acid-forming strain of A. niger when grown on a glucose-acetate medium has been investigated. Acetate greatly accelerated the rate of utilization of glucose. Citric acid production from glucose was much increased by the presence of acetate. The formation of oxalate from glucose-acetate cultures was much less than from acetate alone. In some cultures large amounts of glucose and acetate were consumed but no acidic products were formed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
