International audienceA simple staining procedure, associated with image analysis, was used to discriminate two zones (the filamentous zones and the compacted cores) in aggregates of fungal biomass according to their accessibility for an agent of the medium. The application of the method to batch fermentations of Schizophyllum commune showed a higher proportion of loosely entangled particles (clumps) and thinner filamentous outer zones obtained at a high agitation speed (500 rpm) compared to low agitation speeds (120-200 rpm)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
