Deletion of the translation initiation factor eIF3j promotes the synthesis of amylase and kojic acid in the fungus Aspergillus oryzae

Key Points

• This research aims to examine the impact of deleting the eIF3j factor on amylase and kojic acid production in Aspergillus oryzae.
• Performed genetic deletion of eIF3j in Aspergillus oryzae.
• Analyzed amylase and kojic acid levels post-deletion.
• Utilized industrial application metrics for assessment.
• Deletion of eIF3j resulted in a significant increase in amylase production.
• Kojic acid synthesis also showed notable enhancement post-deletion.
• Improvements indicate potential for better industrial applications of Aspergillus oryzae.
