Discovering metal requirements in fungal metabolism: Assessing growth and metabolite production through sequential metal deprivation
Single metal deprivation testing of future commercial fungal strain for fermentation. Scaled down fermentation process to 24-well MTP to determine non-essential metals within current trace metals solution used at scale due to ongoing stability and feasibility issues with current recipe.
