Scaling up and scaling down the production of galactaric acid from pectin using Trichoderma reesei

Abstract Background Bioconversion of d-galacturonic acid to galactaric (mucic) acid has previously been carried out in small scale (50–1000 mL) cultures, which produce tens of grams of galactaric acid. To obtain larger amounts of biologically produced galactaric acid, the process needed to be scaled...
