Abstract
AbstractAshbya gosspyii, a fungus overproducing riboflavin, is applied for > 1000 t/a for two decades. Disadvantages of the overproducer are its need of complex nutrients and a weak pH tolerance. An omnipotent anabolism was shown for Phialemonium curvatum isolated from compost by screening for plant oil degradation on mineral salts medium at pH 3. It can be cultivated in plastic vessels > 100 L with minimal sterile technique. Its potential to convert crude palm oil into organic acids is discussed.
