Aspergillus tubingensis is a citric acid-producing fungus that can utilize sugars in hydrolysate of lignocellulosic biomass such as sugarcane bagasse and, unlike A. niger, does not produce mycotoxins. To date, no attempt has been made to model its metabolism at genome scale. Here, we utilized the whole-genome sequence (34.96 Mb length) and the measured biomass composition to reconstruct a genome-scale metabolic model (GSMM) of A. tubingensis DJU120 strain. The model, named iMK1652, consists of 1652 genes, 1657 metabolites and 2039 reactions distributed over four cellular compartments. The model has been extensively curated manually. This included removal of dead-end metabolites and generic reactions, addition of secondary metabolite pathways and several transporters. Several mycotoxin synthesis pathways were either absent or incomplete in the genome, providing a genomic basis for the non-toxinogenic nature of this species. The model was further refined based on the experimenta ....
