Aims:The present investigation describes the utilization of Aspergillus oryzae var. effusus NRC14 biomass producing kojic acid in the production of fine chemicals that have valuable applications such as chitin, chitosan, β-1, 3 glucan and /or their derivatives. Methodology: Experiments of cell growth and substrate utilization were conducted in static cultures with identified medium composition. The technology involved in the extraction of their biopolymers is quite simple and the size scale is compatible with those
