Improvement in citric acid production of Aspergillus niger ATCC 11414 by radiation

  • 1. Irradiation for Agricultural Research Program, Office of Atoms for Peace, Bangkok (Thailand)

Description

Ultraviolet and gamma irradiation were used to induce mutation of Aspergillus niger ATCC 11414 in order to increase ability of citric acid production. Five mutants of high-producing citric acid were 7UV-18, A2-14, 9UV-2, 9UV-27 and 8UV-10. The yields of citric acid were 2.0 to 3.84 fold higher than that of the wild type strain
