Role of MMF1 Gene in Mannosylerythritol Lipid Secretion and Sustainable Biosurfactant Production from Brackish Water
DownloadFall 2023
This thesis investigates the secretion of mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL) in the JCM10317 strain of P. antarctica, and the potential for a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly production process for MEL. The study demonstrates that the Pa MMF1 gene is necessary for the secretion of...
