Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen source assimilation is important for the biological functions of fungi, and its pathway has been deeply studied. Aspergillus oryzae mutants defective in nitrogen source assimilation are known to grow poorly on Czapek-Dox (CD) medium. In this study, we found an industrial strain of A. oryzae that grew very poorly on a CD medium containing sodium nitrate as a nitrogen source. We used media with various...
