Bioconversion of D-galacturonate to keto-deoxy-L-galactonate (3-deoxy-L-<it>threo</it>-hex-2-ulosonate) using filamentous fungi

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The D-galacturonic acid derived from plant pectin can be converted into a variety of other chemicals which have potential use as chelators, clarifiers, preservatives and plastic precursors. Among these is the deoxy-keto acid derived...
