Identification of a sterol [DELTA]7 reductase gene involved in desmosterol biosynthesis in Mortierella alpina 1S-4
Article Abstract:
The molecular characterization of the gene encoding sterol [DELTA]7 reductase from the fungus Mortierella alpina 1S-4 is presented. The molecular characterization of Mo[DELTA]7SR gene has helped in studying the steroid production by microbial fermentation, investigation of structure-function relationships in [DELTA]7SR and the elucidation of evolution of sterol reductases in various organisms.

Fate and role of ammonium ions fermentation of citric acid by Aspergillus niger
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to investigate the particular phase of fermentation and follow stoichiometrically the process of ammonium ion and glucose uptake. Analysis revealed the release of an aminated compound, glucosamine in the fermentation medium at elevated concentrations that is traced through out the process of citric acid production.
