The invention belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, and discloses an
Aspergillus niger strain for efficiently degrading
corn starch and cassava
starch, a method and application thereof, the strain is constructed by taking
Aspergillus niger LH-1 as a starting strain, overexpressing a
transcription factor amyR, and overexpressing an amyA
gene on the basis to obtain an
Aspergillus niger strain CB04; the
nucleotide sequence of amyR is shown as SEQ ID NO. 4, and the
nucleotide sequence of amyA is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1. The strain disclosed by the invention can efficiently and directly degrade and utilize
starch, and not only can reduce the
fermentation cost, but also can expand the application range of
aspergillus niger in biological manufacturing. The constructed strain can directly take
starch as a
carbon source to efficiently synthesize
citric acid and other compounds, so that the
sustainability and economical efficiency of industrial production are improved, the
starch degradation efficiency of the constructed strain is improved by 120% or above compared with that of an original strain, and starch in a culture medium can be completely degraded within 5 days.
