Aspergillus niger strain:RAF106 Genome sequencing and assembly. Aspergillus niger strain:RAF106

Aspergillus niger has been generally regarded as a safe material by FDA and developed in some scaled-up processes to produce different enzymes. Aspergillus niger RAF106 could convert ester-catechins into non-ester-catechin and gallic acid, and also degrade non-ester-catechin and gallic acid into compounds with smaller molecular weight, which might improve the bioavailabilities and bioactivities of ester-catechins.
