Data for marine fungi engineered to convert D-galacturonic acid to galactaric acid

<p>Two Excel files are stored, related to the successful engineering of two marine fungi (<em>Trichoderma</em> sp. LF328 and <em>Coniochaeta sp</em>. MF729)&nbsp;for the production of galactaric (mucic) acid from D-galacturonic acid, which is described in Vidgren et al. 2020. One file contains the HPLC data for cultivations carried out in 24-well plates with medium containing D-galacturonic acid, poly-D-galacturonic acid or pectin as a source of D-galacturonic acid, with lactose, xylose, glucose or glycerol as co-substrates. Cultures were sampled on days 3, 4 and 6, and sometimes on days 5 and 7, as indicated in the data. Data for negative results (e.g. lack of consumption of galactaric acid by the parent strains) is also included.</p> <p>The second file contains the HPLC data for cultivations carried out in 1 (<em>Coniochaeta sp</em>. C1) or 1.5 L (<em>Trichoderma</em> sp. T2) bioreactors, with information on culture volume and product yield for <em>Trichoderma</em> sp. T2.</p>
