Physiological characterization of secondary metabolite producing Penicillium cell factories

Abstract

This study demonstrates that the fermentation characteristics and the highly reproducible performance in bioreactors of ten recently genome sequenced <i>Penicillium</i> species should be considered as very encouraging for the application of native hosts for production via submerged fermentation. The results are particularly promising for the potential development of the ten analysed <i>Penicillium</i> species for production of novel bioactive compounds via submerged fermentations.
