Abstract

<p align="justify">A hyperperformer for the production of verbenol was produced from the fusion of two improved strains of Aspergillus niger. A 2-deoxy glucose de-repressed mutant [high sporulation (50%), viability (80%) showing a conversion of 15.6% of initial a-pinene to verbenol in 6 h under the conditions used] was fused with another strain enriched with a-pinene (26.4% of a pinene converted to verbenol) to obtain a final verbenol conversion yield of 48.6% of initial a pinene.</p>
