Citric acid production of pyrG titratable expression mutant in 5 L bioreactor. Citric acid titers of pyrG titratable expression mutant under 0 and 20 μg/mL Dox were compared with its parent strains in the 5 L bioreactor. 1 × 105 spores/mL were inoculated in 3 L citrate fermentation (CitFM) media at 34 °C in the dark for 124 h. The extracellular citric acid was determined by the method of HPLC. Control, the parent strains D353; XMD1.6, the pyrG conditional expression mutants
