Annotated Aspergillus niger fungal genome

Aspergillus niger fermentation is used for metabolic production of important industrial compounds such as citric acids, gluconic acid and production of enzymes such as glucoamylase, a-galactosidase, glucoamylases, lipases, gluccanases, proteases and other carbohydrate modifying enzymes.  A. niger is also used for heterologous protein expression and as a fermentation host.
