Abstract
The disclosure discloses an Aspergillus niger engineered strain for reducing byproduct succinic acid in a fermentation process of L-malic acid. The Aspergillus niger engineered strain is an Aspergillus niger engineered strain in which fumaric acid reductase frdA and fumaric acid reductase flavoprotein subunit frdB are simultaneously knocked out. The disclosure provides an frdA and frdB gene double-knockout Aspergillus niger strain, and a method for greatly reducing byproduct succinic acid in a fermentation process of L-malic acid. By the disclosure, the byproduct succinic acid accumulated in a production process of malic acid through fermentation of Aspergillus niger is significantly reduced, a cost in a downstream separation and purification process of malic acid is decreased, and good strains are provided for producing malic acid via industrial fermentation.
