Deskripsi

Pectin-rich agricultural byproducts are ideal feedstocks for biobased chemicals production. Here, the authors engineer the yeast, S. cerevisiae, in several steps to co-utilize d-galacturonic acid and d-glucose and demonstrate the potential of producing meso-galactaric acid from industrial orange peel.
