Bioengineering and physicochemical optimization of ergothioneine production by Aspergillus oryzae.
Ergothioneine (EGT) is a bioactive, rare variant of histidine with many applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food fields. Therefore, we aimed to investigate in this study the impact of genomic and physicochemical factors on EGT production by the industrial filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae. Firstly, to...
