Abstract excerpt
Vinblastine is a clinically important anticancer alkaloid, and the development of efficient microbial production systems remains a promising strategy for improving its sustainable availability. In the present study, Alternaria alternata Mut-85 was evaluated for vinblastine production using immobilized fungal cultures. Five entrapment carriers, were compared using both spore and mycelium immobilization. Calcium...
